Item 2.05 Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities.

The Board of Directors of CRC Health Corporation (the “Company”) has made the decision to cease operations at six of its facilities. In response to changing market dynamics, this summer the Company will be transitioning students out of and ultimately ceasing operations at five of its Youth Division facilities and one of its Weight Management Division facilities, as listed below:

Academy at Swift River in Cummington, MA (Youth)

Talisman Academy in Hendersonville, NC (Youth)

Stone Mountain School in Black Mountain, NC (Youth)

SUWS Adolescent & Youth Programs in Shoshone, ID (Youth)

Adirondack Leadership Expeditions in Saranac Lake, NY (Youth)

Wellspring Academy in Reedley, CA (Weight Management)

In connection with the above, the Company currently estimates it will recognize costs in the range of approximately $3 to $7 million (consisting primarily of non-cash asset impairment charges) in the second quarter of 2013 and costs in the range of approximately $9 to $10 million (consisting primarily of lease termination charges as well as employee termination costs) in the third quarter of 2013. The Company expects the facilities to have ceased operations by the end of September 2013.

Any statements contained in this report that are not statements of historical fact may be deemed to be forward-looking statements. The Company’s actual results and the timing of events could differ materially from those anticipated in such forward-looking statements as a result of these risks and uncertainties, which include, without limitation, the risk that the Company’s costs may be greater than anticipated; the risk that the plan may affect the Company’s students adversely and other risks detailed from time to time in the Company’s SEC reports, including its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012, and other periodic filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
