It's Time for a New Kind of Addiction Treatment Marketing
Let's be blunt, most addiction treatment marketing is crap. From the Investment Bankers looking for quick returns to the Recovery Bros who have been sober less than a year, but decided to start their own center to get rich, the field is plagued by people looking to make a quick buck. The entire mantra is, "Get me as many calls as possible for as cheap as possible."
That model no longer works and, thank God, because it was harmful to patients and potential patients. Call centers with 20,000+ calls a month and conversion rates of less than 5%. That meant that only 1,000 of those 20,000 were actually people they could help. Not only is it insanely expensive to field 19,000 unqualified calls, it's emotionally draining on staff, and it was clearly giving people a false sense of hope.
All of this was a result of terrible marketing - patient brokering, buying calls, purely Adwords-dependent strategies. Now those centers reliant on such tactics are closing left and right.
What about the Good Centers?
There are tons of good centers out there, ones with their hearts in the right place. But a lot of them don't have business backgrounds. They don't know how to run a lean operation on only 10-20% margins. Too often, they either copy the strategies of other operators or are wholly dependent on a few key referral sources, which can suddenly dry up. Running the business side poorly also doesn't help patients as it means less money for better clinical care or to grow the center.
What's the Answer?
Treatment centers have to move into the real world that every other healthcare industry in the US is already in. It's a world where long-term investments and strategic marketing are supported by efficient, lean operations. Long gone are the days where you can run spammy marketing to drive inquiries, convert a small percentage, and still be profitable.
Now, you need to selectively target audiences, run integrated campaigns across channels, build long-term trust with referral partners, alumni, and potential patients alike.
It means a lot more work for both programs and their marketing partners, but the solution means a better experience for everyone. This is what we do here at Circle Social.

We deliver results for addiction treatment and behavioral health centers looking to connect with those who need help using highly targeted digital advertising that builds your reputation while also building your census.

After hundreds of thousands of dollars in ad spend, we’ve developed unique, HIPAA compliant marketing systems especially for rehabs and mental health. Whether you’re a large center looking for Facebook direct-response campaigns to get the phone ringing now, or a smaller center looking to build a strong local presence, our strategies get results time and time again.
You see, it’s not enough just to put up some ads telling stories about how bad a potential patient’s life is and how much better you can make it. You need to strategically implement campaigns that build trust, and that also move people through the decision-making process quickly. The average inquiry is comparing 3-4 centers at the same time, so you need highly-honed, integrated operations to ensure you're the center they pick.

Facebook Lead Gen
Every center is different. Billboards may work for one center and completely bomb for another. Facebook admit generation can generate phenomenal results, but only when a center's admissions systems are in order. Adwords might make sense for some centers, but can be outside the budget of smaller rehabs. In short, there is no magic formula. Each center has to develop a unique strategy that works for them, which is why we tailor all of our efforts for each of our clients, never just putting in some templated process like so many other agencies out there. That individual approach is what gets our clients results.
Content Lead Nurture
