For Addiction Treatment Providers that want to transform their business.
Discover how to take your Addiction Treatment Business to the next level.
Not getting paid. Are insurance reimbursement rates too low or payments taking too long? Claim denial, co-pay issues, something else?
Staffing problems. How’s your turnover? Do you have a hard time finding and keeping the right people? Does the business run on its own or do things fall apart if you’re not micro-managing everyone?
Regulatory changes. Federal and State laws are constantly changing with new regulations emerging all the time. Staying current is expensive and time consuming. Are you compliant? What about data security and privacy? What would an audit reveal? Are you at risk?
Access to capital. Need a large credit line? Debt to expand or purchase another facility? Or maybe you want to sell. Is your business set up the right way to get you the money you want with the least amount of risk?
Census problems. Are your beds not full? Declining census? Do you swing between under and over capacity? Do you know what’s causing this and how to control it?
Quality of care issues. What’s the patient experience like? What kind of feedback do you get? Inconsistent or negative reviews? Not getting a lot of alumni referrals? Does your staff understand how your service should be provided so it’s consistent with your expectations?
Managing growth. Demand is on the rise. More and more people need your help. Are you able to profitably and efficiently scale up? What about cash flow? Do you have the systems in place to handle growth or will things break down?
Not Knowing what’s working. Are you making decisions based on a reliable set of numbers and data measuring the performance of all the parts of your business? Or are you guessing?
If these are some of the problems you’re dealing with, you’re not alone and you’ve come to the right place for answers. The next question is…
What are you going to do about it?
Handle this in-house? What if you handle this in-house… you and your current staff? This might be the best option depending on the problem, but do you have the experience and skills to solve this? What’s your track record? Can you afford the time and money it might take to figure this out on your own… and what if it doesn’t work? What then?
Outside marketing companies? There are some good companies out there that specialize in different kinds of custom marketing – SEO, Paid Search, Radio, TV, Print, Content, Marketing Automation, and more. But do you know how to find, hire, and manage the right companies, coordinate their efforts, and measure their performance over time to make sure you’re really getting what you need.
Consultants? There are plenty of marketing, financial, operations, and other consultants who can offer advice on what to do. Find and hire the right ones, pay them a fee, and they can point you in the right direction… which can work. But the risk with consultants can be the fact that you pay their fee and you’re often left to execute on your own which is why consulting advice alone often doesn’t solve the problem.
Banks or Venture Capital? Maybe you just need money. You can go to banks or venture capital sources. A simple loan or credit line might be the solution, or not. Be careful here. Taking on debt or selling off part of your company to raise money from these sources can be risky and expensive. Plus, it doesn’t solve strategy or operational problems… and could make things far worse.
Do nothing? If you can live with this then it’s not really a problem. The thing is, if you do have a real problem… and keep doing things the same way, you’re going to get the same results. Problems don’t magically go away. So, if you really need to solve this you really need to deal with this sooner than later. Right?
NOW WHAT? Well, if you don’t like the options above, you need to ask…

What’s the process?
Three stages: Assessment. Planning. Fulfillment.
1. Assessment. First we talk, ask questions, and get clear about what you want and the challenges you’re facing. If we think there’s a fit, we conduct an Assessment that tells us what we need to know for the next stage, Planning.
2. Planning. You’ll be introduced to your Account Team and based on the Assessment results, we’ll create a plan with you that includes your goals, our scope of work, timing, budget, and how we’re going to measure results.
3. Fulfillment. Once the plan is approved, the Account Team gets to work with you and your team. This will be a combination of on-site and remote work with our teams working together. Everything will be measured and we’re all held accountable for results.
Is this a fit for you?
Another good question. After we talk and decide to take the next step, you’ll get a clearly written “no surprises” proposal and work agreement. It’ll confirm exactly what we’re going to do along with next steps, timing, fees, and plan details that focus on your needs and goals.
What you’ll see as we move forward…
One of the first things we do is set goals together. Then we plan and execute. Everything we do is tracked and we are held accountable for results. We create agreements that are based on shared goals and aligned interests that create value for your business.
The principles of all our agreements.
All agreements must:
