EBITDA Growth Blueprint for Independent SUD Centers

Who this is for

This Blueprint is built for U.S.-based, independent adult SUD centers that:

  • Run PHP, IOP, residential, and/or outpatient step‑down programs
  • Generate roughly $5M–$30M in annual revenue
  • Earn 5–20% EBITDA, with current EBITDA typically at $1M+
  • Have a meaningful commercial or private‑pay mix
  • Have at least one program already working (not for startups or turnarounds)
  • Have a 3–5 year growth or exit horizon

Experience from large systems.
Built for your center.

We’ve helped major treatment and healthcare systems grow and improve how they work. The Blueprint puts that experience to work for independent SUD centers.

FAQ

What does the Blueprint cost?

The fee is $30,000 for six weeks: $15,000 at signing and $15,000 at week three.

What happens on the call?

We spend 25 minutes on your numbers, your goals and your questions. Then we decide together if the Blueprint makes sense. You don’t need financial documents for the call.

Do I need to be planning a sale?

No. The model helps you choose how to grow and improve profit. It also lets you explore a future sale if that’s part of your plan.

Can you help us put the plan into action?

Yes. Your team can carry out the plan, or we can help through a separate implementation engagement. We agree on that scope and fee together.

Does the guarantee cover actual earnings?

It covers the realistic annual EBITDA upside identified in your model, using assumptions you approve. Actual earnings depend on putting the plan into action. The remedies are extra work or fee credit, as described above; it is not a cash refund.
