Hi seeking information on day treatment centers in Virginia. Brother in law has some capital that he would be willing to invest for the right opportunity. I am a registered ED nurse/nurse manager who has some contacts in the Behavioral health area. Please feel free to contact me by phone at 540 729-5251

Response to @Meg Furman: Hi Meg, I'm a consultant in Orange County CA, who provides services to start-up rehabs and quality improvement assessment programs to existing substance abuse treatment centers. I have over 10 years in the business of administration, knowledgeable with State Licensing and CARF accreditation with residential treatment, partial hospitalization, and intensive outpatient treatment programs, including sober living settings. To give you an example of what the admission fees are in this part of town; $10,000 - $30,000 for a 28-day stay. Day treatment (partial hospitalization) typically costs about $500 per day. The business is profitable and very much needed. We're dealing with a demand that continues to rise and has a devastating affect our families, communities, and workplaces, just to name a few. Many residential treatment rehabs here in Southern California started as sober recovery homes that relied on community-based 12-Step Self-Help groups. On the other hand, treatment involves bringing together a small team of addiction/mental health professionals consisting of a physician familiar with addiction, maybe an RN, a MFT, and Licensed/Certified Substance Abuse Counselors. The latest addition to the treatment team are nutritionists, yoga and meditation instructors, physical fitness and wellness instructors. The more diversified your team, the more effective your program. Finally, a program addiction psychiatrist will make your program capable of treating dual diagnosis patients. These days we're seeing more depression, anxiety, and bipolar disorders in the diagnosis of our patients. Once your program has been established, then consider applying with major health insurance organizations for stable income. Cash-pay admissions tend to fluctuate with the economy. Lastly, location does tend to have an influence on getting the addict to agree to treatment. Going to the beach communities of Southern California for treatment may be the last bit of information needed in an intervention on a reluctant addict. - Garry Larabee, RAS,CSC,CCDS

I am very interested in opening a men's treatment/half-way facility in Southwestern Wisconsin. Frankly, I would want a management company to collaborate with me, as the logistics would prevent me to have 100% hands on participation. I would prefer to open a Christian based facility, since my family has been blessed by the grace of God. The site is also located near a men's correctional institution in New Lisbon, WI. You may contact me: gottaridem@hotmail.com

A house with 6 bedrooms, 4 full showers including 2 wheel chair accessible showers and ramps is on the property. It was licensed as a Community Living Arrangement home. We need directions as to how to start/how to bring our dreams into reality, as we see the demands for more Holistic Rehabilitation. We will need start up funding/grants etc to build a large swimming pool for therapy, exercise facility/equipment and a running/track

I just recently earned a degree in art concentrating in psychology with hopes of using it in drug/alcohol abuse counseling. It is my dream to use my history and education to better my life, ultimately enabling me to live my full potential. Living my full potential is an everyday goal! I have come to a new appreciation for my history and would love the opportunity to share my hope and joy with others. Giving back what has been so graciously been given to me is what inspires me to keep moving moving forward!

We are situated in George on the Garden Route in South Africa We have an in house facility for the past 4 years Being Christian base does not fly well with authorities because they only understand psychiatric treatment and 12 step programs as been effective Although we have proved them wrong in many instances they continue on the same trend allowing people with money to open the so called "professional" homes Ask the people that come from these places what is really happening there . If God made us in His image then all we can do is to restore back to His image

I would like to be partner with anybody who wants to open a rehab center, I want to encourage and assist those who are affected by the drug addiction from my experience. I have been addicted to pethidine, morphine and valium. I lost everything from addiction, I lost my husband who was also addicted he died due to overdosage of valium. He was a medical doctor by profession, I lost my house, cars, clothes and my kids were taken away from me to this date I haven't met my kids. Through Gods Grace I managed to overcome the addiction without going to rehab. I was sufferinh from the withdrawals but I managed. It has been 10yrs now being clean. I want to be part of rehab staff and assist where possible. I have done Clinical technology but could not qualify due to financial constraints. I'm good in office management, communication skills, medically orientated, report writing and very presentable. My contact +27713971560, Free State, South Africa.

York, PA. I lost my 17 year old son June 26,2013. To overdose. I couldn't get him help because he was 17. State senator gave me a number to call but he had to admit he had a problem I had to get him arrested to get him in the system? Seriously. I had no insurance coverage for drug abuse or mental health. It was too late. I want to open a chapter of not one more here in York. We need more resources. I also just completed a PSA on addiction n prescription drug abuse. Funded by the band Live. Help me.

I am extremely interested in opening a drug rehab in Chicago Illinois. Plan to register to take needed class to be a drug counselor. Will hire candidates with needed credentials to open a facility. Uncertain of how to go about this. Any extra pointers?
Garry Larabee beginner adviser said on August 27, 2014
Your first step is to contact your state's department of alcohol and drug programs division or mental health department. Request an application and the guidelines that apply to your state. Then contact local city and planning to inquire about zoning to make sure the property you lease or purchase for the rehab meets the zoning requirements for that area. I'm a consultant ant in Southern California and my knowledge is limited to this state.

I am located in Southern New Jersey and am looking to open an inpatient drug rehabilitation facility in my area. I have lost many dear friends due to the rampant abuse of opiates and other drugs in the area and I want to do my part to help with this horrible epidemic. Other than finding a suitable location and dealing with the town on zoning restrictions, I am not familiar with the steps and exactly what it takes to open a treatment center. If anyone out there is willing to offer any advice on what the process, I would truly appreciate it. My email is bjedrusiak11@gmail.com God bless.

My husband and I are working with a church and would like to start a recovery home/transitional living. We are Christian and would like the home to center around biblical principals of transformation. We are considering properties in Oceanside, CA. The Pastor's have a home with 3 studios attached to the back on 1 acre of land. We would like to have the home there. We still need to check zoning, but I assume this is possible seeing that there are a couple other homes that are turned into sober livings in the neighborhood. What legalities would we need to consider? Is there an accreditation process? We already have a 501c3 non-profit establishment called "Good Neighbor" that is community focused. Where would we start? Do we have to comply with HIPPAA? Can someone contact me and give me any information, thank you.......
