Oct 18 (Reuters) - Acadia Healthcare Co Inc ACHC.O, a U.S. operator of behavioral health centers, is in talks with private equity firms about selling itself after attracting buyout interest, people familiar with the matter said on Thursday.

The sources asked not to be identified because the matter is confidential. Acadia could not be reached immediately, while KKR and TPG declined to comment.
