1. Is The DEA Going To “Rip Away” Telehealth Services?

November is fast approaching, and with it comes the Drug Enforcement Administration’s (DEA) proposed rule on telehealth and controlled substance prescribing.

3. Get More Qualified Addiction Treatment Leads On Autopilot.

  1. Get More Traffic – Generate more traffic to your website and your brand!

  2. More Leads and Phone Calls – Effective digital marketing is one of the best ways to make the phone ring!

  3. Increase Your Census – High value phone calls lead to more admissions!

You’ll hear a lot of other agencies make promises to you and use certain buzz words like “reach”, or “brand”, or “UX.” Not us … we only care about two things. Traffic and phone calls. You won’t find another agency in this space as dedicated to driving phone calls as us. That’s why we’ve been in business since 2010, and why we are still the highest rated agency in the behavioral health space.

4. Sam MacMaster: Defining Success Through Patient Engagement

Sam MacMaster gave a thoughtful and enlightening presentation on what it means to truly define patient success in the industry.

The presentation is recorded on zoom and was sent out to the Rehab Owners Community.

“At the end of the day, the best predictor of outcomes is not where someone went to treatment or what modality was used; it’s the length of engagement.”

Dr. Sam MacMaster.

5. Get Your Tix To The Mental Health Marketing Conference: Sept 25 - 27

This years list of speakers is exceptional, and you can always count on Steve Turney to put on a great event.

If you’ve never attended MHM, I strongly recommend you buy a last minute ticket and check it out. It’s worth it. I’ve made great connections at this conference.

That’s it for this week.

Soon, we’ll be launching podcast episodes and even more resources to help you succeed in behavioral health.

Thanks. Talk to you next week.
