Successful & Ethical Marketing Practices
Being ethical in the marketing of your addiction treatment organization or services is more important than ever. The news is filled with stories of companies being fined and even losing their credentials because they were doing things that were not compliant.
The California Consortium of Addiction Programs & Professionals (CCAPP) and the Behavioral Health Association of Providers (BHAP) knows this is a growing concern for those of us in the industry, and developed the Certificate in Addiction Treatment Marketing (C-ATM) and the Certified Admissions and Marketing Specialist (CAMS) in response.
Today’s marketers need to be up to date on legislation and compliance issues rapidly changing the business of providing addiction treatment. I earned the Certificate in Addiction Treatment Marketing to better understand these complex dynamics transforming our field. The education provided in the C-ATM courses aligns with the mission of HMP’s Psychiatry and Behavioral Health Learning Network—to empower professionals, whether in business or clinical roles, to provide patient-centric, high-quality, ethically delivered care. Earning the C-ATM is an ideal experience for treatment center marketers and executives dedicated to these goals.
