Their clinical program was excellent. Their outcomes were above industry standard. Their staff was highly qualified.

Yet potential clients were scrolling right past them because of their online reputation.

After diving deep into their review management process, we found shocking issues:

• Over 60% of reviews went unanswered for weeks

• No system for capturing positive reviews from successful clients

• Staff paralyzed by fear of HIPAA violations

• No protocol for handling serious allegations

• Missing out on reviews from happy alumni

What Was Happening?

The problem wasn't just poor review management. It was the complete lack of a review strategy.

Here's why most treatment centers struggle with online reviews:

Response Paralysis

Most centers:

• Fear violating HIPAA

• Worry about legal implications

• Don't know what they can/can't say

• Take too long to respond

• Miss critical response windows

Modern review management requires:

• Pre-approved response templates

• Clear HIPAA guidelines

• Quick response protocols

• Legal compliance checks

• Regular staff training

Missing Positive Reviews

Current issues:

• No system for asking happy clients

• Poor timing on review requests

• Difficult review submission process

• No follow-up with alumni

• Missing family member reviews

Better centers are:

• Capturing reviews at peak satisfaction points

• Making review submission simple

• Engaging alumni regularly

• Including families in the process

• Following up consistently

Crisis Management

Common mistakes:

• Defensive responses

• Ignoring serious allegations

• Inconsistent handling

• Poor documentation

• No escalation process

Professional handling requires:

• Clear escalation protocols

• Documented response procedures

• Regular staff training

• Legal team involvement when needed

• Consistent follow-up

The Real Cost

Poor review management impacts:

• Direct admit rates

• Insurance contracts

• Staff recruitment

• Family referrals

• Professional referrals
