Ladies and Gentlemen:

Acadia Healthcare Company, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), and each of the Guarantors (as hereinafter defined) hereby agree with you as follows:

1. Issuance of Notes. Subject to the terms and conditions herein contained, the Company proposes to issue and sell to the several initial purchasers named in Schedule I hereto (the “Initial Purchasers”), $275,000,000 aggregate principal amount of the Company’s 5.625% Senior Notes due 2023 (each a “Note” and, collectively, the “Notes”) in connection with the offering and sale of the Notes as described herein (the “Offering”). The Notes will be issued pursuant to the indenture dated February 11, 2015 (as amended, supplemented or otherwise modified to the date hereof, the “Indenture”), by and among the Company, the Guarantors (as hereinafter defined) party thereto and U.S. Bank National Association, as trustee (the “Trustee”). Xxxxxxx Lynch, Pierce, Xxxxxx & Xxxxx Incorporated (“Xxxxxxx Xxxxx”) and Xxxxxxxxx LLC (“Jefferies”) have agreed to act as the representatives of the several Initial Purchasers (the “Representatives”) in connection with the Offering.

If no other Initial Purchasers are listed on Schedule A, all references to Representatives and Purchasers shall refer only to you.

The Notes will constitute “Additional Notes” under the Indenture. The Company has previously issued $375,000,000 in aggregate principal amount of its 5.625% Senior Notes due 2023 under the Indenture (the “Existing Securities”). The Notes will have the same terms as the Existing Securities (other than the date of original issuance, the first interest payment date and the issue price) and will be part of the same class as the original notes under the Indenture.

The Notes will be offered and sold to the Initial Purchasers pursuant to exemptions from the registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) promulgated thereunder (collectively, the “Securities Act”). Upon original issuance thereof, and until such time as the same is no longer required under the applicable requirements of the Securities Act, the Notes shall bear the legends substantially as set forth under the “Notice to Investors” section of the final offering memorandum, dated the date hereof (the “Final Offering Memorandum”). The Company has prepared (i) a preliminary offering memorandum, dated September 14, 2015 (the “Preliminary Offering Memorandum”), (ii) a pricing term sheet, dated the date hereof, attached hereto as Schedule II, which includes pricing terms and other information with respect to the Notes (the “Pricing Supplement”), and (iii) the Final Offering Memorandum, in each case relating to the offer and sale of the Notes (the “Offering”). All references in this Agreement to the Preliminary Offering Memorandum, the Time of Sale Document or the Final Offering Memorandum include, unless expressly stated otherwise, (i) all amendments or supplements thereto prepared by, or approved in writing by, the Company, (ii) all financial statements and schedules and other information contained therein (and references in this Agreement to such information being “contained,” “included” or “stated” (and other references of like import) in the Preliminary Offering Memorandum, the Time of Sale Document or the Final Offering Memorandum shall be deemed to mean all such information contained in, or incorporated by reference into, such documents), (iii) any electronic copy of the Time of Sale Document or Final Offering Memorandum and (iv) any offering memorandum “wrapper” to be used in connection with offers to sell, solicitations of offers to buy or sales of the Notes in non-U.S. jurisdictions. The Preliminary Offering Memorandum and the Pricing Supplement are collectively referred to herein as the “Time of Sale Document.”

2. Terms of Offering. The Initial Purchasers have advised the Company, and the Company understands, that the Initial Purchasers will make offers to sell (the “Exempt Resales”) some or all of the Notes purchased by the Initial Purchasers hereunder on the terms set forth in the Final Offering Memorandum to persons (the “Subsequent Purchasers”) whom the Initial Purchasers reasonably believe are (i) “qualified institutional buyers” (as defined in Rule 144A under the Securities Act) (“QIBs”), and (ii) are not “U.S. persons” (as defined in Regulation S under the Securities Act) and in compliance with the laws applicable to such persons in jurisdictions outside of the United States.

The Notes will be guaranteed on a senior unsecured basis by each of the Company’s U.S. subsidiaries signatory hereto (the “Guarantors”). The corresponding guarantees of such Guarantors are referred to herein as the “Guarantees” and, together with the Notes, the “Securities.”

Holders of the Notes (including Subsequent Purchasers) will have the registration rights set forth in a registration rights agreement applicable to the Notes (the “Registration Rights Agreement”) to be executed on and dated as of the Closing Date (as hereinafter defined). Pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement, the Company will agree, among other things, to file with the SEC (a) a registration statement under the Securities Act (the “Exchange Offer

Page 2

Registration Statement”) relating to notes to be offered in exchange for the Notes (the “Exchange Notes”) which shall be identical to the Notes, except that the Exchange Notes shall have been registered pursuant to the Exchange Offer Registration Statement and will not be subject to restrictions on transfer or contain additional interest provisions, (such offer to exchange being referred to as the “Exchange Offer”), and/or (b) under certain circumstances, a shelf registration statement pursuant to Rule 415 under the Securities Act (the “Shelf Registration Statement”) relating to the resale by certain holders of the Notes. If required under the Registration Rights Agreement, the Company will issue Exchange Notes to the Initial Purchasers (the “Private Exchange Notes”). If the Company fails to satisfy its obligations under the Registration Rights Agreement, it will be required to pay additional interest to the holders of the Notes under certain circumstances to be set forth in the Registration Rights Agreement.

This Agreement, the Indenture, the Registration Rights Agreement, the Notes, the Guarantees and the Exchange Notes are collectively referred to herein as the “Transaction Documents”, and the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby are collectively referred to herein as the “Transactions.”

3. Purchase, Sale and Delivery. On the basis of the representations, warranties, agreements and covenants herein contained and subject to the terms and conditions herein set forth, the Company agrees to issue and sell to the Initial Purchasers, severally and not jointly, and the Initial Purchasers agree, severally and not jointly, to purchase from the Company, the Securities at a purchase price of *% of the aggregate principal amount thereof plus accrued interest from August 15, 2015 to the Closing Date (as hereinafter defined). Delivery to the Initial Purchasers of and payment for the Securities shall be made at a closing (the “Closing”) to be held at 10:00 a.m., New York City time, on September 21, 2015 (the “Closing Date”) at the offices of Xxxxx Xxxx & Xxxxxxxx LLP, 000 Xxxxxxxxx Xxxxxx, Xxx Xxxx, Xxx Xxxx 00000 (or such other place as shall be reasonably acceptable to the Initial Purchasers); provided, however, that if the Closing has not taken place on the Closing Date because of a failure to satisfy one or more of the conditions specified in Section 7 hereof and this Agreement has not otherwise been terminated by the Initial Purchasers in accordance with its terms, “Closing Date” shall mean 10:00 a.m. New York time on the first business day following the satisfaction (or waiver) of all such conditions after notification by the Company to the Representatives of the satisfaction (or waiver) of such conditions.

The Company shall deliver to the Representatives one or more certificates representing the Securities in definitive form, registered in such names and denominations as the Initial Purchasers may request, against payment by the Initial Purchasers of the purchase price therefor by immediately available federal funds bank wire transfer to such bank account or accounts as the Company shall designate to the Representatives at least two business days prior to the Closing. The certificates representing the Securities in definitive form shall be made available to the Initial Purchasers for inspection at the offices of Xxxxx Xxxx & Xxxxxxxx LLP, 000 Xxxxxxxxx Xxxxxx, Xxx Xxxx, Xxx Xxxx 00000 (or such other place as shall be reasonably acceptable to the Representatives) not later than 10:00 a.m., New York City time, one business day immediately preceding the Closing Date. Securities to be represented by one or more definitive global securities in book-entry form will be deposited on the Closing Date, by or on behalf of the Company, with The Depository Trust Company (“DTC”) or its designated custodian, and registered in the name of Cede & Co.

(p) No Conflicts.

(r) No Material Applicable Laws or Proceedings. There is no (i) Applicable Law that is enacted, adopted or issued, (ii) stop order suspending the qualification or exemption from qualification of any of the Securities in any jurisdiction that has been issued and no proceeding for that purpose has been commenced or, to the Company’s knowledge, is pending or contemplated as of the Closing Date and (iii) except as disclosed in the Time of Sale Document and the Final Offering Memorandum, action, claim, suit, demand, hearing, notice of violation or deficiency, or proceeding pending or, to the knowledge of the Company, threatened or contemplated by Governmental Authorities or threatened by others (collectively, “Proceedings”), that, with respect to clauses (i), (ii) and (iii) of this paragraph (A) would, as of the date hereof and at the Closing Date, restrain, enjoin, prevent or interfere with the consummation of the Offering or any of the Transactions or (B) would, individually or in the aggregate, have a Material Adverse Effect.

(s) All Necessary Permits. Each of the Company and the Subsidiaries possess all licenses, permits, certificates, consents, orders, approvals and other authorizations from, and has made all declarations and filings with, all Governmental Authorities, presently required or necessary to own or lease, as the case may be, and to operate its properties and to carry on its businesses as now or proposed to be conducted as described in the Time of Sale Document and the Final Offering Memorandum (“Permits”), except where the failure to possess such Permits would not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. Each of the Company and the Subsidiaries has fulfilled and performed all of its obligations with respect to such Permits, except where the failure to perform such obligations would not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. No event has occurred which allows, or after notice or lapse of time would allow, revocation or termination of any such Permit or has resulted, or after notice or lapse of time would result, in any other material impairment of the rights of the holder of any such Permit, except where such revocation or termination would not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. None of the Company or the Subsidiaries has received or has any reason to believe it will receive any notice of any proceeding relating to revocation or modification of any such Permit, except as described in the Time of Sale Document and the Final Offering Memorandum or except where such revocation or modification would not, individually or in the aggregate, have a Material Adverse Effect.

All material taxes that are due from the Company and the Subsidiaries have been paid other than those (i) currently payable without penalty or interest or (ii) being contested in good faith and by appropriate proceedings and for which adequate accruals have been established in accordance with GAAP, applied on a consistent basis throughout the periods involved. To the knowledge of the Company, there are no actual or proposed tax assessments against the Company or any of the Subsidiaries that would, individually or in the aggregate, have a Material Adverse Effect. The accruals on the books and records of the Company and the Subsidiaries in respect of any material tax liability for any period not finally determined are adequate to meet any assessments of tax for any such period.

To the knowledge of the Company, each of the Company and the Subsidiaries owns, or is licensed under, and has the right to use, all patents, patent rights, licenses, inventions, copyrights, know-how (including trade secrets and other unpatented and/or unpatentable proprietary or confidential information, systems or procedures), trademarks, service marks, domain names and trade names (collectively, “Intellectual Property”) necessary for the conduct of its businesses and free and clear of all Liens, other than as disclosed in the Time of Sale Document and the Final Offering Memorandum. The Company is not a party to, or bound by, any options, licenses or agreements with respect to the intellectual property rights of any other person or entity that are necessary to be described in the Time of Sale Document or the Final Offering Memorandum to avoid a material misstatement or omission and are not described therein. No claims or notices of any potential claim have been asserted by any person against the Company or any of the Subsidiaries challenging the use of any such Intellectual Property by the Company or any of the Subsidiaries or questioning the validity or effectiveness of any Intellectual Property or any license or agreement related thereto, other than any claims that, if successful, would not, individually or in the aggregate, have a Material Adverse Effect. Except as described in the Time of Sale Document and the Final Offering Memorandum, none of the Intellectual Property used by the Company or any of the

(y) Compliance with Environmental Laws. Each of the Company and the Subsidiaries (i) is in compliance with all applicable U.S. and non-U.S. federal, state and local laws and regulations relating to occupational health and safety (with respect to hazardous or toxic substances or wastes), the pollution or protection of the environment, hazardous or toxic substances or wastes, pollutants or contaminants (“Environmental Laws”), (ii) has received and is in compliance with all permits, licenses or other approvals required of it under applicable Environmental Laws and (iii) has not received notice of, and is not aware of, any actual or potential liability under Environmental Laws, including for damages to natural resources or the investigation or remediation of any disposal, release or existence of hazardous or toxic substances or wastes, pollutants or contaminants, in each case, except where such non-compliance with Environmental Laws, failure to receive and comply with required permits, licenses or other approvals, or liability would not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. Neither the Company nor any of the Subsidiaries has been named as a potentially responsible party under the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act of 1980, as amended, or any similar U.S. or non-U.S. state or local Environmental Laws or is otherwise required by any Environmental Law to investigate or remediate any pollutants or contaminants, except where such requirements would not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect, whether or not arising from transactions in the ordinary course of business.

Each of the Company and the Subsidiaries has insurance covering their respective properties, operations, personnel and businesses, including business interruption insurance, which insurance is in amounts and insures against such losses and risks as are prudent and customary in the businesses in which they are engaged. All material policies of insurance insuring the Company or any of the Subsidiaries or their respective businesses, assets, employees, officers and directors are in full force and effect. Other than as described in the Time of Sale Document and the Final Offering Memorandum, and except as could not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect, there are no claims by the Company or any of the Subsidiaries under any such policy or instrument as to which any insurance company is denying liability or defending under a reservation of rights clause. Neither the Company nor any such Subsidiary has any reason to believe that it will not be able to renew its existing insurance coverage as and when such coverage expires or to obtain similar coverage from similar insurers as may be necessary to continue its business as now conducted and at a cost that would not, individually or in the aggregate, result in a Material Adverse Effect.

(aa) Accounting System.

Page 14

maintain asset accountability, (iii) access to assets is permitted only in accordance with management’s general or specific authorization and (iv) the recorded accountability for assets is compared with the existing assets at reasonable intervals and appropriate action is taken with respect to any material differences. The interactive data in XBRL incorporated by reference in the Time of Sale Document and the Final Offering Memorandum fairly present the information called for in all material respects and are prepared in accordance with the SEC’s rules and guidelines applicable thereto. Neither the Company nor the Guarantors has any “material weaknesses” or “significant deficiencies” (each, as defined in Rule 12b-2 of the Exchange Act), or is aware of any fraud, whether or not material, that involves management or other employees who have a role in the internal controls of the Company or the Guarantors (whether or not remediated) except as disclosed in the Time of Sale Document and the Final Offering Memorandum in all material respects. Since the date of the most recent evaluation of such disclosure controls and procedures and internal controls, there have been no material changes in internal controls or in other factors that could significantly affect internal controls, including any corrective actions with regard to significant deficiencies and material weaknesses.

Page 15

Existing Securities or otherwise, (ii) sold, bid for, purchased, or paid anyone any compensation for soliciting purchases of, any of the Securities or Existing Securities, or (iii) except as disclosed in the Time of Sale Document and the Final Offering Memorandum, paid or agreed to pay to any person any compensation for soliciting another to purchase any of the Securities or Existing Securities.

and, subject to the provisions hereof, will reimburse, as incurred, such Initial Purchaser and its affiliates, directors, officers, employees and each such controlling persons for any reasonable legal or other expenses (including the reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel chosen by the Representatives and incurred in accordance with the provisions of Section 8(c)) incurred by such person in connection with investigating, defending against, settling, compromising, paying or appearing as a third-party witness in connection with any such loss, claim, damage, liability, expense or action in respect thereof; provided, however, the Company and the Guarantors will not be liable in any such case to the extent (but only to the extent) that a court of competent jurisdiction shall have determined by a final, unappealable judgment that such loss, claim, damage, liability or expense resulted solely from any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission made in the Preliminary Offering Memorandum, the Time of Sale Document, any Company Additional Written Communication or the Final Offering Memorandum, or any amendment or supplement thereto, in reliance upon and in conformity with written information concerning the Initial Purchasers furnished to the Company by the Representatives specifically for use therein, it being understood and agreed that the only such information furnished by the Representatives to the Company consists of the information set forth in Section 13 hereof. The indemnity agreement set forth in this Section 8 shall be in addition to any liability that the Company and the Guarantors may otherwise have.

(b) Indemnification by the Initial Purchasers. Each Initial Purchaser agrees, severally and not jointly, to indemnify and hold harmless each of the Company, each of the Guarantors and their respective affiliates, directors, officers, employees and each person, if any, who controls the Company within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act against any losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses to which the Company, such Guarantors or any such affiliate, director, officer, employee or controlling person may become subject under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act or otherwise, insofar as a court of competent jurisdiction shall have determined by a final, unappealable judgment that such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses (or actions in respect thereof) have resulted solely from (i) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of any material fact contained in the Preliminary Offering Memorandum, the Time of Sale Document or the Final Offering Memorandum or any amendment or supplement thereto or (ii) the omission or the alleged omission to state therein a material fact necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, in each case to the extent (but only to the extent) that such untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission was made in reliance upon and in conformity with written

Page 30

information concerning the Initial Purchasers furnished to the Company by the Representatives specifically for use therein as set forth in Section 13; and, subject to the limitation set forth immediately preceding this clause, will reimburse, as incurred, any reasonable legal or other expenses (including the fees and disbursements of counsel incurred in accordance with the provisions of Section 8(c)) incurred by the Company, each of the Guarantors or any such affiliate, director, officer, employee or controlling person in connection with any such loss, claim, damage, liability, expense or action in respect thereof. The indemnity agreement set forth in this Section shall be in addition to any liability that the Initial Purchasers may otherwise have.

(c) Notifications and Other Indemnification Procedures. As promptly as reasonably practicable after receipt by an indemnified party under this Section 8 of notice of the commencement of any action for which such indemnified party is entitled to indemnification under this Section 8, such indemnified party will, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against the indemnifying party under this Section 8, notify the indemnifying party of the commencement thereof in writing; but the omission to so notify the indemnifying party (i) will not relieve such indemnifying party from any liability under Section 8(a) or (b) above unless and only to the extent it is materially prejudiced by such failure (through the forfeiture of substantive rights and defenses) and (ii) will not, in any event, relieve the indemnifying party from any obligations to any indemnified party other than the indemnification obligation provided in Section 8(a) and (b) above. In case any such action is brought against any indemnified party, and it notifies the indemnifying party of the commencement thereof, the indemnifying party will be entitled to participate therein and, to the extent that it may elect, jointly with any other indemnifying party similarly notified by written notice delivered to the indemnified party promptly after receiving the aforesaid notice from such indemnified party, to assume the defense thereof, with counsel reasonably satisfactory to such indemnified party; provided, however, that if (i) the use of counsel chosen by the indemnifying party to represent the indemnified party would present such counsel with a conflict of interest, (ii) the defendants in any such action include both the indemnified party and the indemnifying party, and the indemnified party shall have been advised by counsel that a conflict may arise between the positions of the indemnifying party and the indemnified party in conducting the defense of any such action or that there may be one or more legal defenses available to it and/or other indemnified parties that are different from or additional to those available to the indemnifying party, or (iii) the indemnifying party shall not have employed counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party to represent the indemnified party within a reasonable time after receipt by the indemnifying party of notice of the institution of such action, then, in each such case, the indemnifying party shall not have the right to direct the defense of such action on behalf of such indemnified party or parties and such indemnified party or parties shall have the right to select separate counsel to defend such action on behalf of such indemnified party or parties at the expense of the indemnifying party. After notice from the indemnifying party to such indemnified party of its election so to assume the defense thereof and approval by such indemnified party of counsel appointed to defend such action, the indemnifying party will not be liable to such indemnified party under this Section 8 for any legal or other expenses, other than reasonable costs of investigation, subsequently incurred by such indemnified party in connection with the defense thereof, unless (i) the indemnified

Page 31

party shall have employed separate counsel in accordance with the proviso to the immediately preceding sentence (it being understood, however, that in connection with such action the indemnifying party shall not be liable for the fees and expenses of more than one separate counsel (in addition to local counsel) in any one action or separate but substantially similar actions in the same jurisdiction arising out of the same general allegations or circumstances, designated by the Representatives in the case of Section 8(a) or the Company in the case of Section 8(b), representing the indemnified parties under such Section 8(a) or (b), as the case may be, who are parties to such action or actions), (ii) the indemnifying party has authorized in writing the employment of counsel for the indemnified party at the expense of the indemnifying party or (iii) the indemnifying party shall not have employed counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party to represent the indemnified party within a reasonable time after notice of commencement of the action, in each of which cases the fees and expenses of counsel shall be at the expense of the indemnifying party and shall be paid as they are incurred. After such notice from the indemnifying party to such indemnified party, the indemnifying party will not be liable for the costs and expenses of any settlement of such action effected by such indemnified party without the prior written consent of the indemnifying party (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld), unless such indemnified party waived in writing its rights under this Section 8, in which case the indemnified party may effect such a settlement without such consent.

(d) Settlements. No indemnifying party shall be liable under this Section 8 for any settlement of any claim or action (or threatened claim or action) effected without its written consent, which shall not be unreasonably withheld, but if a claim or action settled with its written consent, or if there be a final judgment for the plaintiff with respect to any such claim or action, each indemnifying party jointly and severally agrees, subject to the exceptions and limitations set forth above, to indemnify and hold harmless each indemnified party from and against any and all losses, claims, damages or liabilities (and legal and other expenses as set forth above) incurred by reason of such settlement or judgment. Notwithstanding the foregoing sentence, if at any time an indemnified party shall have requested an indemnifying party to reimburse the indemnified party for fees and expenses of counsel as contemplated by this Section 8, the indemnifying party agrees that it shall be liable for any settlement of any proceeding effected without its written consent if (i) such settlement is entered into more than 30 days after receipt by such indemnifying party of the aforesaid request and (ii) such indemnifying party shall not have reimbursed the indemnified party in accordance with such request or disputed in good faith the indemnified party’s entitlement to such reimbursement prior to the date of such settlement. No indemnifying party shall, without the prior written consent of the indemnified party (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld), effect any settlement or compromise of any pending or threatened proceeding in respect of which the indemnified party is or could have been a party, or indemnity could have been sought hereunder by the indemnified party, unless such settlement (A) includes an unconditional written release of the indemnified party, in form and substance satisfactory to the indemnified party, from all liability on claims that are the subject matter of such proceeding and (B) does not include any statement as to an admission of fault, culpability or failure to act by or on behalf of the indemnified party.

Page 32

(e) Contribution. In circumstances in which the indemnity agreements provided for in this Section 8 are unavailable to, or insufficient to hold harmless, an indemnified party in respect of any losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses (or actions in respect thereof), each indemnifying party, in order to provide for just and equitable contributions, shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such indemnified party as a result of such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses (or actions in respect thereof) in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect (i) the relative benefits received by the indemnifying party or parties, on the one hand, and the indemnified party, on the other hand, from the Offering or (ii) if the allocation provided by the foregoing clause (i) is not permitted by applicable law, not only such relative benefits but also the relative fault of the indemnifying party or parties, on the one hand, and the indemnified party, on the other hand, in connection with the statements or omissions or alleged statements or omissions that resulted in such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses (or actions in respect thereof), as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative benefits received by the Company and the Guarantors, on the one hand, and the Initial Purchasers, on the other hand, shall be deemed to be in the same proportion as the total proceeds from the Offering (before deducting expenses) received by the Company bear to the total discounts and commissions received by the Initial Purchasers. The relative fault of the parties shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the omission or alleged omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by the Company, on the one hand, or the Initial Purchasers pursuant to Section 8(b) above, on the other hand, the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission or alleged statement or omissions, and any other equitable considerations appropriate in the circumstances.

(f) Equitable Consideration. The Company, the Guarantors and the Initial Purchasers agree that it would not be equitable if the amount of such contribution determined pursuant to Section 8(e) were determined by pro rata or per capita allocation (even if the Initial Purchasers were treated as one entity for such purpose) or by any other method of allocation that does not take into account the equitable considerations referred to in Section 8(e). Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 8, no Initial Purchaser shall be obligated to make contributions hereunder that in the aggregate exceed the total discounts, commissions and other compensation received by such Initial Purchaser under this Agreement, less the aggregate amount of any damages that such Initial Purchaser has otherwise been required to pay by reason of the untrue or alleged untrue statements or the omissions or alleged omissions to state a material fact. No person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation. The Initial Purchasers’ obligations to contribute pursuant to this Section 8 are several, and not joint, in proportion to their respective commitments as set forth opposite their names in Schedule I. For purposes of Section 8(e), each director, officer and employee of an Initial Purchaser, and each person, if any, who controls such Initial Purchaser within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act, shall have the same rights to contribution as such Initial Purchaser, and each director, officer and employee of the Company and the Guarantors, and each person, if any, who controls the Company or any of the Guarantors within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act, shall have the same rights to contribution as the Company and the Guarantors.

9. Termination. The Representatives may terminate this Agreement at any time prior to the Closing Date by written notice to the Company if any of the events described in Sections 7(d) (No Material Adverse Change), 7(f) (No Hostilities) or 7(g) (No Suspension in Trading; Banking Moratorium) shall have occurred or if the conditions set forth in Section 7 hereof are not satisfied or waived at or prior to the Closing Date. Any termination pursuant to this Section 9 shall be without liability on the part of (a) the Company or the Guarantors to the Initial Purchasers, except that the Company and the Guarantors shall be obligated to reimburse the expenses of the Initial Purchasers pursuant to Section 5(f) hereof, together with any other reasonable legal fees and expenses incurred by the Initial Purchasers in connection with the Offering, or (b) the Initial Purchasers to the Company or the Guarantors, except, in the case of each of clauses (a) and (b), that the provisions of Sections 8 and 10 hereof shall at all times be effective and shall survive such termination.

10. Survival. The representations and warranties, covenants, indemnities and contribution and expense reimbursement provisions and other agreements of the parties hereto set forth in or made pursuant to this Agreement shall remain operative and in full force and effect, and will survive, regardless of (i) any investigation, or statement as to the results thereof, made by or on behalf of such party, (ii) the acceptance of the Securities, and payment for them hereunder, and (iii) any termination of this Agreement.

11. Default of One or More of the Several Initial Purchasers. If any one or more of the several Initial Purchasers shall fail or refuse to purchase Securities that it or they have agreed to purchase hereunder on the Closing Date, and the aggregate amount of Securities which such defaulting Initial Purchaser or Initial Purchasers agreed but failed or refused to purchase does not exceed 10% of the aggregate amount of the Securities to be purchased on such date, the other Initial Purchasers shall be obligated, severally, in the proportions that the amount of Securities set forth opposite their respective names on Schedule I bears to the aggregate amount of Securities set forth opposite the names of all such non-defaulting Initial Purchasers, or in such other proportions as may be specified by the Initial Purchasers with the consent of the non-defaulting Initial Purchasers, to purchase the Securities which such defaulting Initial Purchaser or Initial Purchasers agreed but failed or refused to purchase on the Closing Date. If any one or more of the Initial Purchasers shall fail or refuse to purchase Securities and the aggregate amount of Securities with respect to which such default occurs exceeds 10% of the aggregate amount of Securities to be purchased on the Closing Date, and arrangements satisfactory to the Initial Purchasers and the Company for the purchase of such Securities are not made within 48 hours after such default, this Agreement shall terminate without liability of any party to any other party except that the provisions of Sections 5(f), 8 and 9 hereof shall at all times be effective and shall survive such termination. In any such case either the Initial Purchasers or the Company shall have the right to postpone the Closing Date, but in no event for longer than seven days in order that the required changes, if any, to the Final Offering Memorandum or any other documents or arrangements may be effected.

As used in this Agreement, the term “Initial Purchaser” shall be deemed to include any person substituted for a defaulting Initial Purchaser under this Section 11. Any action taken under this Section 11 shall not relieve any defaulting Initial Purchaser from liability in respect of any default of such Initial Purchaser under this Agreement.

Page 34

12. No Advisory or Fiduciary Relationship. The Company and the Guarantors acknowledge and agree that: (i) the purchase and sale of the Securities pursuant to this Agreement, including the determination of the offering price of the Securities and any related discounts and commissions, is an arm’s-length commercial transaction between the Company and the Guarantors, on the one hand, and the Initial Purchasers, on the other hand, and the Company is capable of evaluating and understanding and understands and accepts the terms, risks and conditions of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement; (ii) in connection with each transaction contemplated hereby and the process leading to such transaction each Initial Purchaser is and has been acting solely as a principal and is not the agent or fiduciary of the Company and the Guarantors, or their respective affiliates, stockholders, creditors or employees or any other party; (iii) no Initial Purchaser has assumed nor will assume an advisory or fiduciary responsibility in favor of the Company or any Guarantor with respect to any of the transactions contemplated hereby or the process leading thereto (irrespective of whether such Initial Purchaser has advised or is currently advising the Company or any Guarantor on other matters) or any other obligation to the Company or any Guarantor except the obligations expressly set forth in this Agreement; (iv) the several Initial Purchasers and their respective affiliates may be engaged in a broad range of transactions that involve interests that differ from those of the Company and the Guarantors, and the several Initial Purchasers have no obligation to disclose any of such interests by virtue of any fiduciary or advisory relationship; and (v) no Initial Purchaser has provided any legal, accounting, regulatory or tax advice with respect to the Offering, and the Company and the Guarantors have consulted their own legal, accounting, regulatory and tax advisors to the extent they deemed appropriate.

13. Information Supplied by Initial Purchasers. Each of the Company and the Guarantors acknowledge that, for purposes of Section 4(d) and Section 8, the only information that the Initial Purchasers have furnished to the Company specifically for use in the Preliminary Offering Memorandum or the Final Offering Memorandum are the statements set forth in the first sentence of the fifth paragraph, the second and third sentences of the sixth paragraph, the ninth paragraph and the nineteenth paragraph under the caption “Plan of Distribution” in the Preliminary Offering Memorandum and the Final Offering Memorandum.

(b) Beneficiaries. This Agreement has been and is made solely for the benefit of and shall be binding upon the Company, the Guarantors, the Initial Purchasers and to the extent provided in Section 8 hereof, the controlling persons, affiliates, officers, directors, partners, employees, representatives and agents referred to in Section 8 hereof and their respective heirs, executors, administrators, successors and assigns, all as and to the extent provided in this Agreement, and no other person shall acquire or have any right under or by virtue of this Agreement. The term “successors and assigns” shall not include a purchaser of any of the Securities from the Initial Purchasers merely because of such purchase. Notwithstanding the foregoing, it is expressly understood and agreed that each purchaser who purchases Securities from the Initial Purchasers is intended to be a beneficiary of the covenants of the Company and the Guarantors contained in the Registration Rights Agreement to the same extent as if the Securities were sold and those covenants were made directly to such purchaser by the Company and the Guarantors, and each such purchaser shall have the right to take action against the Company and the Guarantors to enforce, and obtain damages for any breach of, those covenants.

(c) Authority of the Representatives. Any action by the Initial Purchasers hereunder may be taken by the Representatives on behalf of the Initial Purchasers, and any such action taken by the Representatives shall be binding upon the Initial Purchasers.

Each of the Company, the Guarantors and the Initial Purchasers hereby expressly and irrevocably (i) submits to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of the federal and state courts sitting in the Borough of Manhattan in the City of New York in any suit or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the Transactions, and (ii) waives (a) its right to a trial by jury in any legal action or proceeding relating to this Agreement, the Transactions or any course of conduct, course of dealing, statements (whether verbal or written) or actions of the Initial Purchasers or the Company and the Guarantors, as applicable, and for any counterclaim related to any of the foregoing and (b) any obligation which it may have or hereafter may have to the laying of venue of any such litigation brought in any such court referred to above and any claim that any such litigation has been brought in an inconvenient forum.

(e) Entire Agreement; Counterparts. This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement of the parties to this Agreement and supersedes all prior written or oral and all contemporaneous oral agreements, understandings and negotiations with respect to the subject matter hereof. This Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts, each one of which shall be an original, with the same effect as if the signatures thereto and hereto were upon the same instrument.

(f) Headings. The headings in this Agreement are for convenience of reference only and shall not limit or otherwise affect the meaning hereof.

Page 36

(g) Separability. If any term, provision, covenant or restriction of this Agreement is held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, illegal, void or unenforceable, the remainder of the terms, provisions, covenants and restrictions set forth herein shall remain in full force and effect and shall in no way be affected, impaired or invalidated, and the parties hereto shall use their reasonable best efforts to find and employ an alternative means to achieve the same or substantially the same result as that contemplated by such term, provision, covenant or restriction. It is hereby stipulated and declared to be the intention of the parties that they would have executed the remaining terms, provisions, covenants and restrictions without including any of such that may be hereafter declared invalid, illegal, void or unenforceable.

(h) Amendment. This Agreement may be amended, modified or supplemented, and waivers or consents to departures from the provisions hereof may be given, provided that the same are in writing and signed by all of the signatories hereto.

XXXXXXX XXXXXX & XXXXX, LLP

Opinions Rendered

(1) The Company is existing as a corporation in good standing under the laws of the State of Delaware.

(2) The Company has corporate power and authority to own and lease its properties and to conduct its business as described in the OM and to enter into and perform its obligations under the Transaction Documents to which it is a party.

(3) Each Covered Guarantor is existing as a corporation or limited liability company, as applicable, in good standing under the laws of Delaware or Tennessee, as applicable, has corporate or limited liability company, as applicable, power and authority to own and lease its properties and to conduct its business as described in the OM and to enter into and perform its obligations under the Transaction Documents to which it is a party.

(5) The Indenture has been duly authorized, executed and delivered by the Company and each of the Covered Guarantors. Assuming the due authorization, execution and delivery of the Indenture by the Trustee and each of the Non-Covered Guarantors, the Indenture constitutes a valid and binding agreement of the Company and each Guarantor in accordance with the terms thereof, enforceable against the Company and each Guarantor in accordance with its terms.

(6) The Registration Rights Agreement has been duly authorized, executed and delivered by the Company and each of the Covered Guarantors. Assuming due authorization, execution and delivery of the Registration Rights Agreement by the Initial Purchasers and each of the Non-Covered Guarantors, the Registration Rights Agreement is a valid and binding obligation of the Company and each of the Guarantors and is enforceable against the Company and each of the Guarantors in accordance with its terms.

(7) The Notes have been duly authorized, executed and delivered by the Company for issuance and sale pursuant to the Purchase Agreement and the Indenture and, when authenticated by the Trustee in the manner provided in the Indenture (assuming the due authorization, execution and delivery of the Indenture by the Trustee and each of the Non-Covered Guarantors) and delivered against payment of the purchase price therefor, will constitute “Additional Notes” under the terms of the Indenture, will be the valid and binding obligations of the Company, and will be enforceable against the Company in accordance with their terms.

(8) The Guarantee has been duly authorized, executed and delivered by each of the Covered Guarantors and, when the Notes have been paid for by the Initial Purchasers in accordance with the terms of the Purchase Agreement (assuming the due authorization, execution and delivery of the Indenture by the Trustee and each of the Non-Covered Guarantors, the due authorization, execution and delivery of the Guarantee by each of the Non-Covered Guarantors and the due authentication and delivery of the Notes by the Trustee in accordance with the Indenture), will constitute a “Guarantee” under the terms of the Indenture, will be the valid and binding obligation of each of the Guarantors, and will be enforceable against each of the Guarantors in accordance with its terms.

(9) The Exchange Notes (having identical terms in all material respects to the Notes and evidencing the same continuing indebtedness of the Company (except with respect to transfer restrictions described in the Final Offering Memorandum)) have been duly authorized by the Company and, when duly executed and delivered by the Company and issued in accordance with the terms of the Indenture, the Registration Rights Agreement and the Exchange Offer (assuming the due authorization, execution and delivery of the Indenture by the Trustee and each of the Non-Covered Guarantors, the due authentication and delivery of the Exchange Notes by the Trustee and the due authorization, execution and delivery of the Registration Rights Agreement by the Initial Purchasers and each of the Non-Covered Guarantors), the Exchange Notes will be the valid and binding obligation of the Company, and will be enforceable against the Company in accordance with their terms.

(10) The Exchange Guarantee (which shall be consistent with the Guarantee) has been duly authorized by each of the Covered Guarantors and, when the Exchange Notes have been duly executed, authenticated, issued and delivered and the Exchange Guarantee has been executed and delivered, each in the manner provided for in the Registration Rights Agreement and the Indenture (assuming the due authorization, execution and delivery of the Indenture by the Trustee and each of the Non-Covered Guarantors, the due authorization, execution and delivery of the Exchange Guarantee by each of the Non-Covered Guarantors, the due authentication and delivery of the Exchange Notes by the Trustee and the due authorization, execution and delivery of the Registration Rights Agreement by the Initial Purchasers and each of the Non-Covered Guarantors), the Exchange Guarantee will be the valid and binding obligation of each of the Guarantors, and will be enforceable against each of the Guarantors in accordance with its terms.

(11) The execution and delivery of the Transaction Documents by the Company and the Guarantors and the performance by the Company and the Guarantors to the extent a party thereto of their respective obligations thereunder (other than performance under the indemnification section of the Purchase Agreement, as to which we render no opinion): (i) will not constitute a breach of, or Default or a Debt Repayment Triggering Event under, or result in the creation or imposition of any lien, charge or encumbrance upon any property or assets of the Company or any of its subsidiaries pursuant to any Applicable Contract, except for such breaches, defaults, liens, charges or encumbrances as would not, individually or in the aggregate,

result in a Material Adverse Effect, (ii) will not result in any violation of the provisions of the certificate of incorporation or bylaws of the Company or the applicable Guarantor Governing Documents of any Covered Guarantor, (iii) do not result in any violation of any Applicable Laws or Applicable Order, except for such breaches, defaults, liens, charges or encumbrances as would not, individually or in the aggregate, result in a Material Adverse Effect. If an Applicable Contract is governed by the laws of a jurisdiction other than New York, we have assumed such Applicable Contract is governed by the laws of the State of New York.

(12) No consent, approval, authorization or other order of, any court or other governmental authority, is required for the issuance and sale by the Company of the Notes to the Initial Purchasers, or the consummation by each of the Company and the Covered Guarantors of the transactions contemplated thereby and by the OM, except such as may be required under the Securities Act, the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), the Trust Indenture Act and the security or “blue sky” laws of the various states (and the rules and regulations thereunder), as to which we express no opinion in this paragraph, or which have been obtained or made by the Company or the Covered Guarantors, as applicable, and are in full force and effect under the Securities Act.

(13) Assuming (i) the accuracy and completeness of the representations, warranties and covenants of the Company, the Guarantors party thereto, and the Initial Purchasers contained in the Purchase Agreement, (ii) the compliance with the procedures set forth in the Trust Indenture Act in the manner contemplated by the Purchase Agreement and the OM, and (iii) that the Initial Purchasers have a reasonable belief that the purchasers who buy such Notes in the initial resale thereof are “qualified institutional buyers” as defined in Rule 144A promulgated under the Securities Act, or persons other than “U.S. persons” in connection with offers and sales made in reliance upon Regulation S under the Securities Act, no registration under the Securities Act of the Notes is required in connection with the purchase of the Notes by the Initial Purchasers or in connection with the initial resale of the Notes by the Initial Purchasers in the manner contemplated by the Purchase Agreement and the OM. We express no opinion, however, as to when or under what circumstances any Notes initially sold by the Initial Purchasers may be reoffered or resold.

(14)(a) The statements in the OM under the headings “Description of the Notes”, “Exchange Offer; Registration Rights” and “Description of Other Indebtedness”, insofar as such statements constitute matters of law, summaries of legal matters, the Company’s certificate of incorporation or bylaw provisions, documents, or legal proceedings, have been reviewed by us and fairly present and summarize, in all material respects, the matters referred to therein.

(b) The statements in the OM under the heading “Certain U.S. Federal Income Tax Considerations”, insofar as such statements constitute matters of law, summaries of legal matters, or legal conclusions, have been reviewed by us and fairly and accurately present and summarize, in all material respects, the matters referred to therein.

(15) The legal statements in the materials relating to Health Care Laws encompassed under the captions set forth in Schedule D hereto, insofar as such statements constitute overviews or summaries of the laws and regulations referred to therein, including the qualifications set forth therein, fairly present and summarize, in all material respects, such laws and regulations referred to therein.

(16) Neither the Company nor any Guarantor is, or, after giving effect to the offering and sale of the Notes to the Initial Purchasers and the application of the proceeds thereof as described in the OM under the caption “Use of Proceeds”, will be required to register as an “investment company” within the meaning of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended.

(17) There is no legal or governmental proceeding pending to which the Company or any Guarantor is a party that has caused us to conclude that such proceeding would be required to be described by Item 103 of Regulation S-K under the Securities Act if the issuance of the Notes and the Guarantee was being registered under the Securities Act, but is not so described in the OM.

(18) The documents incorporated by reference in the OM (other than the financial statements, any notes thereto, schedules, and other financial or statistical information derived therefrom and included therein or omitted therefrom, including without limitation such financial or statistical information provided in an interactive data format using XBRL or any statements made in the exhibits thereto, as to which we express no opinion), when they were filed with the SEC, complied as to form in all material respects with the requirements of the Exchange Act.

We have not verified, are not passing upon and do not assume any responsibility for, the accuracy, completeness or fairness of the statements contained in the Time of Sale Document or the Final Offering Memorandum, except as stated in paragraphs 14, 15 and 17 above. We have participated, however, in the preparation of the OM during the course of which preparation we examined various documents and other papers and participated in conferences with officers and representatives of the Company, Partnerships in Care Investments 1 Limited (“PiC”) and CRC Health Group, Inc. (“CRC”) and representatives of the Company’s, PiC’s and CRC’s independent registered public accounting firms, and your representatives and counsel, at which conferences the contents of the OM, including all documents filed under the Exchange Act and deemed incorporated by reference therein, were discussed, reviewed and revised. On the basis of the information that was developed in the course of our participation, considered in light of our understanding of applicable law and the experience we have gained through our practice, no facts have come to our attention that lead us to believe that the Time of Sale Document (including any document filed under the Exchange Act and deemed incorporated by reference therein) at the Applicable Time or that the Final Offering Memorandum (including any document filed under the Exchange Act and deemed incorporated by reference therein) as of its date and the date hereof contained or contains any untrue statement of a material fact or omitted or omits to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading (except that in each case we do not make any statement as to the financial statements, any notes thereto, schedules and other financial or statistical information derived therefrom and included in or incorporated by reference into or omitted from the Time of Sale Document and the Final Offering Memorandum, including, without limitation, such financial or statistical information provided in an interactive data format using XBRL or any statements made in the exhibits thereto).

EXHIBIT A-2
