EBITDA Growth Blueprint for Independent SUD Centers

A 6‑week, $30,000 engagement to baseline your economics, identify at least $150,000 in realistic annual EBITDA upside, and hand you a 36‑month growth and stronger exit plan.

Start your application

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 (not ~95% Medicaid)
  • Have at least one program already working (not a “fix my broken startup rehab”)
  • Have a 3–5 year growth or exit horizon

What you get in 6 weeks

  1. A deep dive into payer mix, census, throughput, staffing, pricing, and P&L

  2. A custom 36‑month EBITDA & exit model that identifies at least $150,000 in realistic annual EBITDA upside, based on assumptions you approve line by line

  3. A 90‑day execution sprint and governance map so your team knows exactly what to do next

  4. An owner/board‑ready summary deck you can use with partners, lenders, or potential buyers

How the guarantee works

If, by the final session, we have not identified at least $150,000 in realistic annual EBITDA upside:

  • We will work up to 30 additional days at no extra charge to refine the plan, or

  • You can choose to have 100% of your Blueprint fee convert to credit toward a future implementation engagement

No “you don’t risk the fee” language, no multiple promises we can’t control. Just a concrete upside target, extra work at our risk, or fee-as-credit if we move forward together.
