If you own or run an addiction treatment center, you need to read this.
With all of the patient brokering issues going on, getting clients safely into an addictions treatment center can be exhausting. You have to market online, deal with competitors, shady characters, and then get the client to agree to come into the actual treatment center. How well does your treatment center actually perform? Do you close over 60% of the leads?
I bet you don’t. In fact, most addictions centers close under 30%. If you get a proper lead (clinically appropriate, can handle payment, etc) your team should close it, but they don’t. Mostly because they have ZERO sales training. They may be a past client that is excited about the program and just rambles on to the lead. Or, they may be reading from your script and sound impersonal and disconnected.

The number one goal of detox, residential treatment center, PHP, or IOP is to fill the beds with quality candidates that need your services. This is where most places struggle to maintain a census of appropriate candidates. You hire marketers, developers, lead generation services, dabble in the Google AdWords game (after purchasing a LegitScript certification), and you spend thousands of dollars to get the phone to ring. After all that money out and hard work, a lot of clients are lost in the Admissions Call Center. Untrained staff, missed calls, admission of inappropriate candidates for your specific services, promises to clients that are unrealistic (resulting in them leaving upon arrival), clients not assessed for the proper level of care and even staff not understanding and assessing proper insurance coverage all translates in wasted money and time.
The Addictions Academy will train your staff in sales and admissions closing unique to the addiction treatment industry.
