The Deal
- Bought By
- Alex Stavros
- Year
- Not published by any primary source
- A third party's page for the searcher says he acquired the company via a search fund and ran it for thirteen years, with no year on either end. One backer's hall of fame prints no year on any entry, and the other backer's block dates its own 2016 and 2018 investments, which came years into his tenure and are labeled as the backer's. Nothing read states when the purchase closed.

A behavioral health company for teens and young adults that grew from one residential program at the Lake of the Ozarks into a national network of treatment centers and outpatient clinics.
What Happened Next
Run for thirteen years by its searcher, by a third party's page for him, which credits a net thirty-eight-times return to his original search fund investors. A backer's hall of fame lists him beside the company, and a second backer's block says it invested in the company in 2016 and 2018, under the later brand, beside a later chief executive.
The exit ends of journeys like this one, where the buyer has announced the purchase itself, are on Buyers.
