Behavioral Health Startup Consulting

Open your detox center —
licensed, staffed, and ready to admit.

One program that takes you from an idea to an operating facility — state licensing, permits, policies, accreditation prep, hiring, and day-one operations. We've built it before. Now we build it with you.

Licensing & Permits

Full state application, prepared and submitted for you.

Complete Policy Suite

Compliance-ready policies, procedures, and clinical forms.

Staffing & Hiring

Clinical and support teams recruited and credentialed.

Operator-Built

Led by people who run a licensed facility today.

The A–Z Program

Every phase, in order. Nothing skipped, nothing guessed.

Opening a detox center is a sequence — miss a step and your license waits months. Our program moves you through each phase with the applications, documents, and people you need already in hand.

"We don't consult from a template. We run a licensed facility ourselves — every checklist we hand you is one we've had to pass."

Mel, founder of Samlucy Agency
Meet the Founder

She built it from nothing. Now she builds it with you.

Mel came to this country from a third-world nation with no connections, no safety net, and a son to raise on her own. What she had was work ethic — and she turned it into a licensed behavioral health facility, built from the ground up while being a full-time mom.

Every license she helps you win, every policy she hands you, every hire she helps you make — she's done it herself, the hard way. Samlucy Agency exists so your road is shorter than hers was.

— Mel, Founder
