For the Long Term

My LT goal is to open a residential drug and alcohol treatment program for adolescents here in the SD area.  There isn't anything that can really meet the needs of the kids here.  I am going on to graduate school so that when I open it I will be licensed as an MFT and can choose whether to bill insurance or accept state or county funding. 

I plan on doing both.  The gov. funding will be so that I can accept poor kids.  The current system gives rich kids with AOD problems horseback riding lessons while the poor kids have to share the workbooks and have to use regular paper because the program can't afford to replenish the workbook if they write in it.  I am going to end that.
