Meta ads for addiction treatment centers, starting with certification.

Addiction treatment is one of the most regulated categories on Meta. Providers need LegitScript certification before ads can run. We help with that setup and build careful, policy-safe campaigns that connect people and families with your admissions team.

What makes addiction treatment centers different on Meta

Certification is required

Meta requires LegitScript certification for addiction treatment advertising.

A history of bad actors

The industry's past patient brokering problems mean scrutiny is high and trust is low.

Families often make the call

Many inquiries come from parents and spouses, not the person who needs treatment.

Questions we get asked

Can we run addiction treatment ads without LegitScript?

No. Meta requires certification for this category. We can help you through the process, then build compliant campaigns once you're approved.

Is there a minimum?

We work with addiction treatment centers doing $25,000+ a month in revenue and ready to invest in paid acquisition. If you are earlier than that, a Meta ads audit is the better first step.

How long until Meta ads work for addiction treatment centers?

The first 30 days focus on tracking, offers, and creative testing. Most accounts show clear direction by day 60 to 90, once Meta has enough admission data to optimize against.
