Addiction treatment

Marketing for addiction treatment, measured in admissions.

Families searching for addiction treatment are deciding fast, under stress, and checking whether your program is real. We build the search presence, ads and website that answer that, and we judge it on what an admission costs you.

What we handle for treatment centers

  • Paid search. Google Ads built by level of care (detox, residential, PHP, IOP, outpatient), with LegitScript applications and renewals prepared with your team.
  • SEO and AI search. Clinician-approved content, license and accreditation display, and local search for every facility.
  • Websites. Sites that put your clinicians, licenses and accreditations up front.
  • Editorial coverage. Your licensed clinicians quoted in national publications, on approved topics only.

The rules we work within

  • Ads need certification. Google requires LegitScript certification before an addiction treatment provider can advertise. Approval decisions belong to LegitScript and Google.
  • Health content gets checked. Google and AI answers weigh who stands behind clinical claims, so your clinicians are front and center.
  • Your visitors are patients and families. We set up tracking so form contents never reach analytics or ad platforms.

Treatment directory profiles

Directory profiles built to bring in calls and form fills that turn into VOBs and admissions, with clarity on whether each directory is worth what you pay for it.

  • Services, amenities, levels of care and insurance information gathered and formatted for each profile
  • Photos gathered and resized to each directory’s requirements
  • Tracking on every profile, so each directory’s visits and calls are attributed
  • Monthly analytics to judge each directory, and profiles kept accurate and up to date

Compliance built into the back end.

Treatment marketing touches patients and families at a hard moment. These safeguards are part of how our systems are built, not a checklist we run at the end.

  • Forms stay private.

    Our tracking records which form was sent and from which page. Never what anyone typed into it.

  • Calls become scores, not records.

    Google Ads receives the click, the conversion and the time. Never a caller’s name, number or details, and no ad audiences are built from callers.

  • Tags only where they belong.

    On sites we build, analytics and call tracking run on the live site only, never on test copies or for your logged-in staff. Session recording stays off unless you approve it in writing.

  • Paperwork before patient data.

    TDI staff listen to call recordings only with your signed BAA or Part 2 agreement (QSOA) on file, and only if authorized.

  • Vortex takes the identifiers out.

    Before AI reads a call transcript, Google Cloud’s Sensitive Data Protection removes names, numbers, addresses and dates; if it can’t, the call is skipped. Patient data never goes into general-purpose AI tools.

  • Advertising inside the rules.

    LegitScript and Google certification before any addiction treatment ad runs, and no ad targeting built on health conditions.

Questions we hear

Why only behavioral health?

Because treatment marketing runs on rules a general agency learns on your account: levels of care, admissions workflows, LegitScript, and tracking that protects patients and families. We built our process around them, and it’s the only industry we serve.

Can you guarantee admissions?

Admissions depend on your program and your admissions team, so we don’t promise a number. We commit to what we control: calls, qualified calls and the admission counts your team provides, reported every month against a baseline we agree before launch, including the soft months.
