When was the last time you purchased something significant without checking Amazon’s ratings? If you’re like us, finding out how other people rated a potential purchase's quality is crucial. Yet we are asking people to make a potentially life-or-death decision about which treatment center to attend based solely on a salesman’s assurances. Why?
Prospective patients or families who need addiction treatment deserve to be able to go online and quickly identify suitable rehabs with high success rates. They should be able to see the treatment options they’re offering and how much they cost. And finally, just like on Amazon, they deserve to have options if the treatment they’ve invested in doesn’t work satisfactorily.
Enter Conquer Addiction’s Five Star Addiction Treatment Market, which launched on October 1, 2024 with ten trailblazing addiction treatment centers in four states:
- Brighton Recovery Center - Salt Lake City, Utah
- Avery Lane - Novato, California
- California Behavioral Health – Cathedral City, California
- Excel Treatment Center – Dover, New Jersey
- Roots Through Recovery – Long Beach, California
- New Dawn Treatment Centers – Roseville, California
- Elevate Addiction Services - Watsonville, California
- Enlightened Recovery - Egg Harbor City, New Jersey
- Multi Concept Recovery - Burbank, California
- Brick House Recovery – Boise, Idaho Falls, Coeur d’Alene, Idaho
What do the leaders of these ten pioneering centers have in common? Most importantly, a driving commitment to ensuring their patients recover. Outcomes research isn’t something they’re doing to “check the box”, but to truly understand how their patients are doing after treatment and to continually improve.
Secondly, all of these centers have third-party outcomes research showing that more than 40% of their patients are abstaining from alcohol and all non-prescribed medications for at least the last 30 days one year after they leave treatment. This puts them in the top echelon of treatment centers across the United States:
Additionally, all have defined specific episodes of treatment they’ll provide for an all-inclusive cash price, such as the following from Brighton Recovery Center:
Finally, the leaders of these ten centers are so confident in the effectiveness of their treatment that they’ve committed to pay for a second episode of treatment for any patient who relapses within 90 days of completing their program. Wow! Talk about aligning yourself with your patients’ best interest!
Preparing for a Transparent Future
We believe that the Five Star Market’s radical transparency and aligned incentives have the potential to transform addiction treatment. By late 2025, Conquer Addiction plans to be able to invite hundreds of other effective treatment centers to join the Market based on our analysis of national claims data.
