The first visit almost never works for life regardless of who or what it is. Usually the pattern is hit low point if they survive then enter into recovery where they learn the skills necessary to deal with their addiction, stick to it 6 months to a year and get sloppy/lazy and hit another low point where they go back into a recovery Center where hopefully this time it actually sticks. The success rate for a first visit usually hovers around 30% and if somebody claims better than that it's because they stopped following them after six months to a year. The success rate the second time is MUCH higher.
But yeah, the intention is to get them better. You don't need repeat customers or even a lot of first time customers when you're charging $55,000 a head per month. The staff (including ind contractors like yoga instructors, massesus, dietician a, clergy etc..) to patient ratio we're shooting for is close to 2:1 with group therapy in the 8-10 range with us running multiple groups simultaneously.
We'll be able to treat about 100 with the first two centers per month and our immediate expansion plans would be about 500 per month next year. So we are not setting up the min you can get away with in order to get the $16k insurance will pay you, these are going to be the absolute high end resort style is places for those who can afford it.
It's going to take people away from their stressors and triggers (family, friends, work and the news) and put them in a comfortable setting where they'll get 8 hours of pretty intense psychotherapy to go with Suboxone or other medication toteation for those who physically require it which they will decompress from by having access to "field trips" to the beaches, theme parks, springs, golf courses and fishing spots around our locations and simultaneously work on their physical and spiritual health with dieticians and healthy whole foods catered locally, yoga, massage, physical therapy, a nice gym, lap pools, sauna and more. Also to help with the decompression following therapy we'll have a very nice chapel, koi ponds, large reef tanks, a large garden, and calm meditative spots in common areas plus an amazing 50 person theatre for live and televised events.
