Free 30-Minute Consulting Call With Our Founder

Thirty minutes with our founder, for the investors and entrepreneurs serious about opening a rehab center.

This is a free 30-minute consulting call with Adam Vibe Gunton, founder of Behavioral Health Partners, for serious inquiries about opening an addiction treatment center. You share your vision. Adam answers every question you bring, honestly and completely, with nothing pitched. At the end, if you want a second call to go through our packages and pricing, we schedule it right then. If you do not, you leave with real answers and no obligation.

Read this before you apply.

Opening an outpatient program anywhere in the country takes a minimum of $300,000 in startup capital. Residential or inpatient starts over $500,000, minimum. There are ways to finance part of that, and we will talk about them, but those are the floor, not the target. Our minimum engagement is $7,500. If those numbers fit, apply below. If they do not fit yet, start with our guide to what it costs to open a rehab center, and come back when you are ready.

Video call, camera on, 30 minutes. Every application is read before the call.

What this call is

Your vision, heard properly.

Where you want to open, which level of care, who you want to serve, and where you stand today: an idea, capital raised, a property under contract, or somewhere in between.

Every question answered.

Licensing, timelines, real costs, staffing, accreditation, what to do first and what never to do. Ask anything. You get the same answer a paying client gets.

A clear decision, yours.

You decide whether we are the right partner for the next step. If you want a second call to go through packages and pricing, we schedule it before the call ends. If you do not, that is the end of it.

Apply and book

Pick a time, then complete the short application.

Choose a time on the calendar, then answer the application questions. It takes about three minutes. Here is why it exists: Adam's consulting time is billed at $1,000 an hour, and this first call is free, so the people who are ready to open a center can ask everything they need to ask and know they are with the right expert. The application keeps that time for them. Adam reads every application before the call.

Three things to know before you apply

Nothing is pitched.

Thirty minutes of your questions and Adam's answers. Packages and pricing come up only if you ask for a second call at the end.

The numbers are real.

$300,000 minimum to open outpatient, over $500,000 for residential or inpatient, $7,500 minimum to work with us. If you are not there yet, the call will not change that, and we would rather tell you here than waste your 30 minutes.

Come ready to talk about your vision.

Camera on, questions written down. This is the one free call we give each group, and 30 minutes goes fast when the questions are good.
