Share Your Center’s Success Stories with a Podcast
The Power of Treatment Center Podcasts
A podcast gives potential clients and their families a chance to hear directly from your alumni and staff — real voices sharing real experiences. That kind of honest storytelling builds trust and helps potential clients and their families feel more comfortable before they even pick up the phone to call you.
People sharing their stories in their own voices offers a level of emotional connection, authenticity, and deep engagement with your center you can’t replicate in other forms. A podcast also provides a source to pull from for pamphlets, your websites testimonial section, social media, Google reviews, or other marketing materials.
Will Atkins, LPC, CPS, Director of Operations at Summit Behavior Health
“I can't tell you how many intakes we had that mentioned listening to the podcast as part of their decision to enter treatment. His podcasts help centers build trust and connection before a prospective client ever makes a call.”
Jordan Detweiller, CACII, Co-occuring Disorders Counselor at Positive Impact Health Centers
"As a former admissions counselor at a place where Matt produced podcasts for us, I can testify firsthand that these well-produced podcasts relieve the stigma of going to treatment, helping potential clients and their families pickup the phone to make that first call to seek treatment at your center.”
Bruce Friddle, Founder and Director of Perimeter Recovery Residences
"Matt’s podcast episodes offer a powerful way to build hope and connection—for both individuals and families navigating recovery. We even use them in our client groups to spark meaningful discussion and reflection."
