Suicides, yes, but Reyna's at least seems like a special case - even compared to other inpatient systems. Acute alcohol withdrawal is horrible, and can even be directly fatal.
If an addiction treatment facility overlooked that or declined to provide urgent care, I'd impute a significant role to them even in a patient suicide. It's like hearing that someone committed suicide after a hospital ignored their need for pain relief - they may not be responsible for the death, but they're responsible for neglecting a serious need of someone in their care.
