--- Quote from: "AuntieEm2" ---Hello, Edward Kahn!

So you are the marketing director for the IECA? Or maybe an online marketing content provider paid by Aspen? Or an educational consultant looking to drum up business?

Aspen Education Group is indeed one very finest top-notch profiteers in the troubled teen industry. Its parent company is CRC Health Group, Inc. of California, which is, in turn, owned by Bain Capital, LLC, headquartered in Boston with offices in New York, London, Munich, Hong Kong, Shanghai and Tokyo. In 2010, Aspen/CRC Health's annual report showed that the company’s average net income (so after costs) per youth per day in residential programs was $250.46, or clear and bankable profit of $91,417.90 per child per year. The outdoor division (the wilderness programs) is even more profitable, netting $440.23 per day or $160,683.95 per year.

Educational consultants are being paid for their referrals—the enterprising ones are, anyway—so let’s see, a 10% per head bounty would produce quite a comfortable living for an “ed con” if he or she found only 5-10 parents online who could be “scared straight” into sending their child to a program. Wow, I'm in the wrong business.

AuntieEm2, I had no idea about the margins on wilderness therapy.  Do you have any contact information for Aspen's wilderness therapy marketing director?  I need to speak to him/her right away.  I have a few clients with at-risk children that would benefit from a year or more in wilderness therapy.  Do you think they would allow children to stay in the wilderness program for up to two years?  I'm thinking now that it might be even more effective than boarding school.

seamus:
Will you refer me to S.I.B.S. ?  Please,please o pretty please. Send the Straightmobile right away.I miss the 7 steps,and the 3 signs,really I do. Ive been searching for answers for oh so long,and an exit from my god-forsaken druggie ways.
   and my sarcastic, sacrosanct attitude is well, all consuming. Ill bet Im powerless,yeah.....thats the ticket. Only thing though, im kinda light on dough. I got laid off from my job puttin the lil plastic thingys on shoelaces,so im kinda tapped out.
   Gotta go...im gonna miss the amway convention if I miss the city bus again.

Edward Kahn:
Hello, seamus!  I have never used the SIBS school before.  Do you happen to know the commission schedule?  I'm willing to look into it.

Edward Kahn:
Let's take a step back and keep things in perspective.  The most important thing is that these children had fun at the lake.  Good programs are fun for kids.
