All We Do Is Behavioral Health & Addiction Treatment

Most marketing agencies serve a dozen industries. We serve one. Behavioral Health Partners exists to build, launch, and scale behavioral health centers, and nothing else. That depth is the moat: we know what frightened families type into Google at 2 a.m., we know what a payer mix does to a keyword strategy, and we know what it takes to fill beds without ever compromising the dignity of the people those beds are for.

Every family that lands on a treatment center's website is asking two questions: do you have what I need, and can I trust you. Every operator who lands on ours is asking the same two things. This page is our answer to both.

A few minutes with our founder on what a specialist partner actually does differently.

Our core values:

ILive With Integrity.
IIServe With Excellence.
IIIChange The World.

Those are not wall decorations. They are the filter every partnership, every campaign, and every word we publish passes through.

Where to start

The marketing engine

A Full-Service Drug Rehab Marketing Agency

We run every digital channel that fills beds, and we run them as one connected system, delivered with excellence and your clients and families in mind. Every channel below is built for one audience only: addiction treatment and behavioral health centers.

01

Drug Rehab SEO

Organic search is where frightened families start. We build the topical authority, service pages, and local signals that put your center in front of them first.

02

Local SEO & Google Business Profile

The Map Pack is the most defensible real estate in your market. We optimize your profile, reviews, and local signals so the families searching near you find you.

03

PPC & Google Ads

LegitScript-compliant campaigns that produce admissions calls while your organic engine compounds. Why would we rent what we can own? Paid fills the window until you do.

04

Rehab Website Design

Your website is your admissions team's best closer or its biggest leak. We design sites that answer a family's two questions in the first screen.

05

Rehab Lead Systems

Your website, search presence, and campaigns built into one system, so your center's own assets bring admissions calls, forms, and texts straight to your team, tracked to the source.

06

Content Marketing

Content written for the frightened family and the serious operator, never filler. Every piece builds the authority your money pages rank on.

07

Social Media Marketing

A human, dignified social presence that builds trust with families and referral partners before they ever call.

08

Video Production & Photography

Real faces build trust faster than any headline. Our creative team produces the video and photography that make families feel safe before they call.

09

Conversion Rate Optimization

More admissions from the traffic you already have. We find where calls leak and fix it, measured in real admissions inquiries, not clicks.

Verifiable results only

Real, Verifiable Results For Treatment Center Clients

The rule we run on

One Client Per Level of Care, Per Market

The best marketing in a market can only belong to one center. So that is how we operate it. We accept one client per level of care, per market, and we confirm your market is open before partnering with you.

Exclusivity is structured by level of care: a detox, a residential center, and a PHP or IOP in the same metro can all be partners, and we build warm referral relationships between them so the whole continuum wins. If your market is taken, we will tell you on the first call, and we will not take your money.

Check If Your Market Is Open

Fit, honestly

Who We Work With, and Who We Turn Away

We partner with licensed addiction treatment and behavioral health operators committed to excellent care: detox, residential, PHP, IOP, and outpatient programs across the United States and Canada. And we partner with the people entering this industry to do it right: investors, real estate developers, medical professionals, and entrepreneurs looking to open a business that makes a real impact, helping people struggling with addiction and mental health by building sustainable, profitable treatment centers. If you measure success in lives changed and beds filled with the right people, we are your partner.

And we say our refusals out loud:

  • We refuse anyone whose model involves insurance fraud, body brokering, or deceptive marketing.
  • We refuse to market something a center is not, and we refuse to grow chaos.

Vulnerable people are not inventory. That is not what our marketing is for.

Built by People in Recovery

Adam Gunton · Founder and Managing PartnerAdam Gunton · Founder and Managing Partner

Adam Gunton is the founder and Managing Partner of Behavioral Health Partners: a person in long-term recovery, bestselling author of From Chains To Saved, TEDx speaker, and founding member of Radix Recovery in Cedar Rapids, Iowa, which had one of the most successful treatment center launches in history.

Nine years ago, he was the person your admissions team exists for, calling every treatment center he could find and getting turned away. That is why this company exists, and it is why he still says: I am your clientele. You cannot stop people in recovery from helping people in recovery. You just cannot.

Adam is not a licensed clinician. His authority is lived experience, sustained recovery, and a decade of building in this industry.

Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

What does Behavioral Health Partners do?

Behavioral Health Partners builds, launches, and scales behavioral health and addiction treatment centers. On the consulting side we handle feasibility, proforma, state licensing, and accreditation. On the marketing side we run SEO, paid media, web design, content, photography and video exclusively for addiction treatment and behavioral health centers across the United States and Canada.

What makes BHP different from other rehab marketing agencies?

Three things. We do only addiction treatment, so the depth is real. We are built by people in recovery, so the judgment is lived, not researched. And we publish verifiable results only: real clients, live Search Console data, no stock charts. Transparency in all we do with a mission to build access to treatment.

Do you only work with addiction treatment centers?

Addiction treatment is our core, and we also serve the broader behavioral health category, including mental health facilities and programs. If your organization cares for people struggling with addiction or mental health conditions, we speak your language. If it does not, we are not your agency.

What does one client per level of care, per market mean?

We will not market two competing centers against each other. A detox, an inpatient center, and an outpatient program in the same metro can all be clients because they serve different levels of care, and we build warm referral relationships between them. Why would we give two people the best marketing?

How fast will we see results?

Our promise is 30 days to value: a finished deliverable in your hands inside the first month, often your new website. Google Business Profile and reputation work often moves inside 30 days, Map Pack shifts typically show in 60 to 90 days, and competitive organic terms usually stabilize on page one in 4 to 6 months. Anyone promising faster is guessing.

What happens on the free discovery call?

Thirty minutes on video with Adam directly, camera on. He screen-shares your current online presence and your top three local competitors, tells you honestly where you stand, and confirms whether your market is available for a partnership. There is no pitch on the first call.

What are your partnership terms?

We offer 6-month and 12-month partnership terms, and pricing is quoted on the second call once it is scoped to your center. We do not trap people in contracts. Our word holds the relationship together, not a clause.

Can Behavioral Health Partners help us open a new treatment center?

Yes. That is what we do. Our consulting team takes you from feasibility study through proforma, licensing, and accreditation, and our licensing team has secured more than 100 licenses nationwide with a 100% success rate. We can have your website up three months before license, so by the time you open, you already have calls.

One Conversation. No Pitch.
