In this episode of Acquisitions Anonymous, Bill D’Alessandro, Heather Endresen, Mills Snell, and Chelsea Wood break down a mid‑market drug and alcohol rehabilitation business in Los Angeles County listed for $4.5M with about $4M in annual revenue and $1M in SDE. The business operates two licensed detox and residential facilities with 12 beds, offers a spectrum of evidence‑based therapies (CBT, DBT, EMDR, family therapy), and maintains Joint Commission accreditation and DHCS licensing. While the model appears scalable with high‑margin services, the panel highlights concerning utilization trends and forecasting assumptions baked into the seller’s projections.
Key Highlights:
- Deal Specifics: 12‑bed rehab facility in LA County, $4M revenue, $1M SDE, $4.5M asking price.
- Utilization Trends: Declining from ~78% to ~53% with optimistic future forecast that seems questionable.
- Regulatory Risk: Corporate practice of medicine/state licensure complexity in California (MSO workaround concerns).
- Payer Mix & Revenue Drivers: High average daily revenue per patient but mixed insurance/private pay impacts lender appetite.
- Consensus Verdict: Thumbs down for this deal — regulatory friction, utilization risks, and mid‑market performance dampen attractiveness.
