THE NEW AGE OF PPC FOR REHAB CENTERS: LEGITSCRIPT
A new age? You might be thinking, “was there an old age?” Yes.
What was happening with paid advertising for rehabs on Google was akin to the wild west. The industry was exploding due to the opioid epidemic and the real desire to help people get their lives backs. Generally, that was noble, however, certain people started to take advantage of the massive profit per patient and neglect the care side of the equation.
Health professionals noticed. Google noticed. In 2017 they severely restricted ads for rehabs.
TYPES OF ADDICTION-RELATED BUSINESSES ALLOWED TO APPLY FOR LEGIT SCRIPT
Any website, application, or merchant that provides information about in-person drug or alcohol addiction treatment, or facilitates in-person or online drug or alcohol treatment, other than at a private residence or non-clinical setting.

This was unequivocally the right move. The restriction caused the number of ads related to rehab to drop by 96%.
Now you’re thinking, “ok how is this good and why do we want this trouble?” That’s where LegitScript came in and established a path for in-person drug and alcohol addiction treatment centers, mutual support groups and crisis hotlines to advertise on search engines again. Going through LegitScript’s process certifies to Google and other search engines that your facility is staffed with trained professionals, complies with local law and best practices and is transparent with patients. Moreover, there’s an application fee and annual fee to keep dubious and disreputable rehabs off the search engine. Nonetheless, being a certified advertiser means you’ve established trust and possibly benefit from those restrictions.

Just like the paid advertising on Google, to advertise your drug and alcohol rehab on Facebook, you’ll need to certify through LegitScript as well which is a process we can guide you through. Facebook, like Google, recognized the abuses rampant in the advertising platform and rightfully sought to rectify it by requiring Legit Script certification in order to run paid ads for drug rehabs.
