Before you take the plunge, have you thoroughly researched what it takes to run a therapeutic community? Do you need to pay a staff? What about insurance? Are there any competitors in the market (in your area)? Do you have all the financial and legal logistics worked out? There are so many things to consider!
I would be hesitant to go into business with a friend, if I was worried they were taking advantage of me. In fact, if there is any doubt in your mind or unease about moving forward, then I would step back and do more research until you feel you are 100% ready. Once you feel comfortable, then as I see it - nothing ventured, nothing gained. It sounds like a great idea and could be very rewarding for you.
