What This Video Covers

Opening a rehab center is a licensing project, a real estate project, a staffing project, and a marketing project running at the same time, and most first-time founders get blindsided by at least one of them. In this video, Adam walks through the five mistakes we see most often when founders start a treatment center: committing to a building before the feasibility work, underestimating state licensing timelines, launching without a real proforma, waiting too long on accreditation and payer contracts, and treating marketing as something to figure out after the doors open. Every one of them is avoidable if you see it coming. If you are starting a rehab center this year, watch this before you sign anything.

Why we made this: every one of these mistakes gets learned the expensive way, and none of them should have to be learned twice.
