Outline
In the Nepean Blue Mountains Local health district, there are many such patients
who are suffering from drug addiction and specifically this is effecting the youth to a
high extent. They want to come out from the addiction but due to lack of systematic
treatment they are unable to do so. Therefore, it is very important to create a drug
rehab center where drug addicted people will get proper treatment.
Local health district will be highly helpful and it will create a lot of value for them if this
drug rehab center is setup. Hence., in order to provide their patients with a better
rehabilitation centre, Ray of Hope should be formed to suffice the need. The local
people who are drug addict and whose family do not have enough money to give
proper treatment to reduce this addiction and they will get immense help from the
rehab center.
It is very important for the rehab center to remain in the business for a long time.
Quality service is one of the important factor which should be kept in mind. Creative
problem solutions technique is necessary to sustain the business in the market.
Thus, this service of treating drug addicted patient is necessary to be introduced as a
business plan. There are many drug addicted people who wants to come out of this
deadly lifestyle into a normal one, but they are unable to do so because a proper
treatment is necessary to stop the addiction. This is another reason which leads to
the setting up of the drug rehab center.
Background
There are a huge number of population across the world who find peace in drugs and
alcohol which is illegal in nature. They cannot anticipate the consequences that may
arise due to the perennial intake of this illegal drugs and alcohol. The young
generation are mostly getting addicted to the drugs and before understanding the
deadly consequences their lives are getting spoiled. In recent years, it has been
noticed in the Nepean Blue Mountains Local health district that most of the people
are getting aware of this types of addiction and they are also becoming aware of the
health risks that are involved due to this addiction. It has been seen most of the drug
addicted victim wants to get rid of this deadly feeling and want to start their life with a
healthy note. Though they want to stop this addiction but they are not aware of the
proper treatment. The reason behind the set-up of a drug rehab center is to provide
proper treatment to those in need so that they can again star their life properly and in
a healthier version.
The cost involved for setting up the business includes hiring specialized doctors and
nurses for the treatment. Psychologists should also be hired because after the
treatment a proper medical counselling of the patients should be done to see the
progress of the patients towards a normal life. An emergency service department
should be there in order to take care of patients who is in a very crucial stage. There
are many drug addicted patients who lose their sanity due to excessive addiction.
This is the reason few security staffs should be hired so that they can have a clear
eye on the patients and see whether the patients are creating any nuisance or not.
The Proposal
Aims
Nepean Blue Mountains Local health district has bene successfully imparting medical
and health facilities to the patients in the area. Long with such provisions, it is quite
important to provide drug rehab services in the center. Treating the patient with
utmost care is one of the aim this means efficiency in service by everyone involved is
of immense importance. Since, there are a significant amount of patients who are
4

drug addicted it is expected that they will arrive to the rehab center for their
treatment. Therefore, with more number of patients the business plans aim at
generating more revenues.
Benefits
 Efficiency gains
Efficiency gains is generally measured by taking in to account the relationship
between the earnings and the cost that has been incurred from the business. The
drug rehab center will attract more number of local patients specially the youth
generation. This will help the center to earn more number of revenues and thus there
can be a significant amount of gain from this business.
 Potential savings/increased costs
In a drug rehab center too much of machines are not necessary for the treatment.
Various machineries involved in the treatment of patients involve high amount of
costs. Thus, this cost can be reduced. Estimated increase in costs can take place
due to the involvement of more number of doctors and nursing personnel. In a drug
rehab center psychiatrist are also required because it is very important to measure
the mental condition of the patient more frequently because as discussed earlier
such types of patients can sometimes lose their sanity. Estimated costs can also
increase for setting up of few doctor chambers.
 What are the expected benefits of this proposal?
Factor Benefits
Patients There are many victims of drug addict who wants to get out of this
addiction. This rehab center can help them to do so. A proper
treatment can help them to get back a heathier life. Along with the
physical checkup the patients can also get assistance of psychiatrist

Facility In the rehab center all the patients will be kept under proper care.
Along with the patients one family member of the patient can also stay
with the patients. The food and place to stay of the patient’s family
member is free. The rehab center also will have an attached medicine
shop from where the medicines can be easily available.
Clinicians Schedule for the checkup is arranged in such a way that doctors can
easily check a significant amount of patient in one day. Doctors will be
assisted with a nursing personnel so that there exists no problem
while carrying out the treatment.
Other There is an arrangement of mid-wives. So, if any family member of the
patient finds it difficult to handle the patients they can hire mid-wives
from the center itself.

Process
 Action (see attachment 1 in the appendix)
For the process of developing the project, it is required to make a planning committee
for the purpose of making the financial forecast and outlining the primary steps for
collecting the capital and implementing the taken policies into work. Apart from that, it
is also required to create an advisory committee which will track the progress of the
project and suggest some strategies for any unexpected situations (Cleverley &
Cleverley 2017). A management team should also build in order to maintain the
overall progress of the project and this team needs to report the advisory committee
for every action taken in the project.
For the next steps, required staffs such as physiotherapist, receptionist, nurse,
administrative staffs, special rehabilitation doctors and the necessary equipment
such as tilt tables, projector and gym equipment is needed to be purchased (Wright,
2015).
Resources
The additional resources that is necessary for the project is listed below:
 Consumable equipment
o Dynatron Solaris Plus 705
o Electric and non electric tilt tables
o Projector and screen
o Gym equipment
 Utilities
7

o Water
o Electricity
o Internet
 Administrative costs
o Repair and maintenance
o Insurance system
o Security system
o Building rent
 Depreciation cost
The cost for the consumables is very important as it involves the quality of the
service for the centre. The utilities are also required in order to perform the basic
operations. The administrative costs are also important in order to maintain the
operations of the centre. The depreciation is also mandatory to calculate in order to
reflect the overall cost structure (Enthoven, 2014).
Reporting of outcomes
The reporting of outcomes should follow the designated authorities. The
administrative department should control the staffs and other operations made in the
physiotherapy center. This department should report the advisory committee about
all the financial and progressive data incurred from the project. The advisory
committee is responsible for reporting the central management of the hospital (Wright
et al., 2017).
Financial Information
The necessary requirements for the zero based budget in this project is considered
are
 Special rehabilitation doctors
 Physiotherapists
 Administrative staff
 Oncost
 Dynatron Solaris Plus 705
 Electric and non-electric tilt tables
 Projector and screen
 Gym equipment
 Water
 Electricity
 Internet
 Repairing and maintenance
 Insurance system
 Security system
 Building rent
 Depreciation
In this case, the cost which is being calculated for the operations of the
physiotherapy centre is calculated as $35,88,144. This cost is included all the
maintenance and other expenses. After implementing the optimal 10% less from the
incurred cost, the cost has been reduced by $149855 and resulting a total operating
cost of $34,38,144.
After calculating the break-even analysis of the project, it can be seen that the
company has managed to incur a total cost of $35,88,000 whereas the expected
8

revenue for the project in the upcoming year is calculated as $35,86,500. Thus as a
result, the profit generated by the physiotherapy centre is being calculated as $1499.
