Ladies and Gentlemen:

         We have acted as counsel to Psychiatric Solutions, Inc., a Delaware
corporation (the "Company"), in connection with the preparation and filing of a
Registration Statement on Form S-4 (the "Registration Statement"), which
includes the prospectus of the Company (the "Prospectus") relating to the
registration of 7 3/4% Senior Subordinated Notes due 2015 in the face amount of
$220,000,000 issued by the Company.

         In connection with our opinion, we have examined the Registration
Statement and the Prospectus, each substantially in the form being filed with
the Securities and Exchange Commission, and such other documents, and have
examined such laws and regulations, as we have deemed necessary for purposes of
this opinion. In such examination, we have assumed the authenticity of all
documents submitted to us as originals, the conformity to original documents of
all documents submitted to us as certified or photostatic copies, the
authenticity of the originals of such latter documents, the genuineness of all
signatures, and the correctness of all factual representations made therein. We
have further assumed that the final executed documents will be substantially the
same as those which we have reviewed and that there are no agreements or
understandings between or among the parties to the documents with respect to the
transactions contemplated therein other than those contained in the documents.
For purposes of this opinion, we have not made an independent investigation or
audit of the facts set forth in the above referenced documents.

         This opinion is based on relevant provisions of the Internal Revenue
Code of 1986, as amended, the Treasury regulations issued thereunder, court
decisions, and administrative determinations as currently in effect, all of
which are subject to change, prospectively or retroactively, at any time.

         In accordance with the assumptions and limitations contained herein, we
hereby confirm to you that, in our opinion, the discussion under the heading
"Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Considerations" in the Prospectus contained in
the Registration Statement accurately describes the material United States
federal income tax considerations associated with the exchange of the old notes
for registered notes pursuant to the exchange

     offer described in the Prospectus. There can be no assurances that any
     opinion expressed herein will be accepted by the Internal Revenue Service
     or, if challenged, by a court.

             This opinion is subject to the limitations and qualifications
     herein and is based on assumptions contained herein and the assumptions,
     facts and circumstances set forth in the Prospectus, which have been
     reviewed by us. Our opinion could change as a result of changes in: (i)
     facts and circumstances; (ii) the terms or the form of the documents
     reviewed by us; or (iii) existing statutory authority, administrative
     pronouncements or judicial authority subsequent to the date hereof. We
     undertake no obligation to update or supplement this opinion to reflect any
     such changes that may occur after the date hereof.

             We hereby consent to the filing of this opinion letter as an
     exhibit to the Registration Statement and all amendments thereto. In giving
     such consent, we do not thereby admit that we are included in the category
     of persons whose consent is required under Section 7 of the Securities Act
     of 1933, as amended, or the rules and regulations of the Securities and
     Exchange Commission thereunder.

                                       Very truly yours,


                                       /s/ Waller Lansden Dortch & Davis, PLLC
