We all know that if you want to start your own McDonald or 7-11, you have to attend a number of courses before you can earn the right to set up a sign in front of your store, housing your department of one the chains.
Now you can also attend a number of seminars and invest some money so you can open your own department of "National House of Hope", so you can detain teenagers for 8-18 month using their business model and therapy system.
Start a House of Hope (http://http://www.nationalhouseofhope.org/general.php?section_url=5)
So the question is whether your town doesn't have one.
It might not be the first chain using this businessmodel, but they are fast growing with many departments nationwide. They have both non-residential and residential programs. They use a level system with 5 levels in their residential programs. They use parent seminars.
It sounds like something we have seen before, but presented very nicely.

Oh wow. This really is almost exactly like McDonald's does it.

They have a lot going but are meeting local resistance:
