CRC Health Reports Operating Results

for the Three Months Ended March 31, 2008

CUPERTINO, CA, May 14, 2008 – CRC Health Corporation (“CRC” or the “Company”), a leading provider of substance abuse treatment and youth services through its wholly owned consolidated subsidiaries, announced its results for the three months ended March 31, 2008. For the three months ended March 31, 2008, consolidated net revenue increased 7.5%, to $116.0 million from $107.9 million in the same period of 2007. Adjusted pro forma earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization (“EBITDA”) decreased 19.0% from $25.2 million to $20.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2008 from the comparable prior-year period primarily due to lower census in our youth division.

Organizational Change

Effective October 1, 2007, CRC realigned its operations and internal organizational structure into three operating divisions: recovery division, youth division, and healthy living division. The recovery division provides substance abuse and behavioral disorder treatment services through residential treatment facilities and outpatient treatment clinics. The youth division provides educational programs for underachieving young people through residential schools and wilderness programs. The healthy living division provides adolescent and adult weight management programs and treatment services for eating disorders. For segment reporting purposes, the Company reports in two segments: recovery and youth. The healthy living division is combined with corporate/other as it does not meet the quantitative threshold for separate segment reporting.

Comparative financial results and selected statistics for the three months ended March 31, 2007 have been presented to conform to the Company’s new organizational structure which became effective on October 1, 2007.

Historical Financial Results

Quarter Ended March 31, 2008 Financial Results:

Recovery Division:

• Net revenue increased $6.8 million, or 9.7%, to $77.2 million for the quarter from $70.4 million from the comparable prior-year quarter. Same –facility net revenue increased $4.9 million, or 7.0%, to $74.8 million for the quarter from $69.9 million from the comparable prior-year quarter. The increase in same-facility net revenue was driven by a 4.1% increase in census and a 2.9% increase in rates.

• Adjusted pro forma revenue increased $5.0 million, or 6.9%, to $77.2 million for the quarter from $72.2 million from the comparable prior-year quarter. Adjusted pro forma EBITDA increased $0.4 million, or 2.1%, to $22.9 million for the quarter from $22.5 million from the comparable prior-year quarter. Our growth was adversely impacted by lower census in our high-end and extended care facilities.

Youth Division:

• Net revenue decreased $1.1 million, or 3.1%, to $32.9 million for the quarter from $34.0 million from the comparable prior-year quarter. Excluding the one-time effect of a $2.1 million unearned revenue adjustment related to the acquisition of Aspen Education Group by the Company during the quarter ended March 31, 2007, the Company’s youth division revenue decreased $3.2 million, or 8.8% during the quarter ended March 31, 2008. Same–facility net revenue decreased $4.3 million, or 11.9%, to $31.7 million for the quarter from $36.0 million from the comparable prior-year quarter. The decrease in same-facility net revenue was driven by a 17.1% decrease in census partially offset by a 6.3% increase in rates. The decrease in census was significantly impacted by a single therapeutic boarding school that experienced a significant increase in student graduations during the second half of 2007 and has yet to recover the lost census. Excluding the impact of this one program, census declined 7.3% across the rest of the youth programs.

• Adjusted pro forma revenue decreased $3.2 million, or 8.9%, to $32.9 million for the quarter from $36.1 million from the comparable prior-year quarter. Adjusted pro forma EBITDA decreased $4.0 million, or 66.7%, to $2.0 million for the quarter from $6.0 million from the comparable prior-year quarter. Excluding the impact of the aforementioned therapeutic boarding school, the decrease in adjusted pro forma EBITDA was $2.3 million, or 46.9%.

• Corporate/other:

Net revenue increased $2.4 million, or 66.6%, to $5.9 million for the quarter from $3.5 million from the comparable prior- year quarter. Same –facility net revenue in our healthy living division increased $0.6 million, or 18.8%, to $3.8 million for the quarter from $3.2 million from the comparable prior-year quarter. The increase in same-facility net revenue was driven by a 2.4% increase in census and a 16.4% increase in rates.

Adjusted pro forma revenue increased $0.7 million, or 13.5%, to $5.9 million for the quarter from $5.2 million from the comparable prior-year quarter. Adjusted pro forma EBITDA decreased $1.2 million, or 38.8%, to a loss $4.5 million for the quarter from a loss of $3.2 million from the comparable prior-year quarter. The increase in the loss is attributable to increases in start-up losses in both eating disorder and weight management programs, increased operating expenses associated with the growth in our adolescent weight management summer camps, and increases in corporate administrative expenses.

• Consolidated Net Income

For the three months ended March 31, 2008, consolidated net income decreased by $1.5 million compared to the same period in 2007. The decrease in net income in 2008 was attributable to a decrease in operating margin of $2.1 million, a $1.3 million increase in interest swap related losses, a reduction in interest expense of $0.5 million, and a reduction in income tax expense of $1.2 million when compared to the same period in 2007. The effective tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2008 was 41.9% compared to 40.8% in the same period of 2007.

The unaudited adjusted pro forma EBITDA for the periods presented gives effect to all acquisitions in 2007 as if they had occurred on January 1, 2007. The pro forma adjustments are based upon available information and certain assumptions that CRC believes are reasonable. The pro forma adjusted EBITDA is for informational purposes only and does not purport to represent what CRC’s result of operations or financial position would have been if the acquisitions in 2007 occurred at any date, nor does such information purport to project the results of operations for any future period.

In order to supplement its condensed consolidated financial statements presented in accordance with GAAP, CRC is providing a summary to show the computation of EBITDA, as well as adjusted pro forma EBITDA. Adjusted pro forma EBITDA takes into account certain adjustments which are excluded from EBITDA for purposes of various covenants in the indenture governing CRC’s 10 ³/4% senior subordinated notes due 2016 and its senior secured credit facility, as amended to date. CRC believes that the adjusted pro forma EBITDA information presented provides useful information to both management and investors concerning its ability to meet its future debt obligations and to comply with certain covenants in its borrowing arrangements that are tied to these measures. CRC also believes that including the effect of these items allows management and investors to better compare CRC’s financial performance from period-to-period, and to better compare CRC’s financial performance with that of its competitors. The presentation of this additional information is not meant to be considered in isolation of, or as a substitute for, results prepared in accordance with GAAP.

Forward-Looking Statements

This press release includes or may include “forward-looking statements.” All statements included herein, other than statements of historical fact, may constitute forward-looking statements. Although CRC believes that the expectations reflected in such forward-looking statements are reasonable, it can give no assurance that such expectations will prove to be correct. Important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements include, among others, the following factors: changes in government reimbursement for CRC’s services; our substantial indebtedness; changes in applicable regulations or a government investigation or assertion that CRC has violated applicable regulations; attempts by local residents to force our closure or relocation; the potentially difficult, unsuccessful or costly integration of recently acquired operations and future acquisitions; the potentially difficult, unsuccessful or costly opening and operating of new treatment facilities; the possibility that commercial payors for CRC’s services may undertake future cost containment initiatives; the limited number of national suppliers of methadone used in CRC’s outpatient treatment clinics; the failure to maintain established relationships or cultivate new relationships with patient referral sources; shortages in qualified healthcare workers; natural disasters such as hurricanes, earthquakes and floods; competition that limits CRC’s ability to grow; the potentially costly implementation of new information systems to comply with federal and state initiatives relating to patient privacy, security of medical information and electronic transactions; the potentially costly implementation of accounting and other management systems and resources in response to financial reporting and other requirements; the loss of key members of CRC’s management; claims asserted against CRC or lack of adequate available insurance; and certain restrictive covenants in CRC’s debt documents.
