Mental healthAddiction Treatment
AEOptim shows addiction treatment program owners what AI tools tell people who ask where to get help for drinking or drugs, and helps you correct what they get wrong.
Often it's a spouse or a parent, late at night: "Is there a licensed outpatient program near me that takes our insurance?" ChatGPT, Gemini or Google's AI answers in a few sentences and names a few programs. Is your program on that list? Does it have your services and your insurance right?
Stage by stage
Some families skip the ads, type the whole story into an AI tool and ask who is real. Each of these can be asked before anyone calls. The crisis question comes ahead of all of them.
"He is in withdrawal that scares me, or talking about ending it. What do I do right now?"
This one is different, and it is not a marketing moment. The right answer is not any program's name. It is call or text 988, the Suicide and Crisis Lifeline, or call 911, or go to the nearest emergency room. Every mental-health Answer Kit carries the 988 line, and every draft is written to send anyone in crisis to 988 or 911 first. You check each one before it goes up.
"What is Suboxone, and does medication-assisted treatment actually work?"
The assistant explains it from whatever clear description it can read, often a program's own page.
"Can he get treatment our insurance covers, or a sliding scale we can afford?"
The most fear-loaded question in this field, asked by people already afraid of being scammed.
"Does she need residential rehab, or can she keep her job and do an outpatient program?"
Outpatient or residential, medication or counseling, a licensed local program or the ads. The assistant hands over a short list here.
"Who near me is legitimate, licensed, and able to see him this week?"
This is where programs get named, and where directories and call centers compete for the same few lines. A program on Google's first page can still be left out of a reply that names only two or three.
The fact checklist
An AI tool has only your published pages and listings to go on. Check your website, your Google Business Profile and the directories you're listed on against this list. All of them should match.
Local by nature
Assistants answer town by town. Say a parent in Spartanburg asks for an outpatient program that takes their plan. Ask the same thing in Thousand Oaks and different names come back, and they may not be local programs at all. Nobody can say ahead of time which programs will appear, and a promise that yours will is a red flag. We ask your town's real questions and show you the answers word for word.
Client vocabulary
The Answer Kit drafts answers to questions like these from your own pages, with the 988 line on the kit.
What a clear site does
When your program's facts are stated plainly, an assistant can do four things for the family asking.
when your levels of care, the substances you treat and your town match the question.
plans, sliding scale, MAT, how soon someone can be seen. AI tools repeat what they find. If your insurance list is out of date, that's what they repeat.
including when you aren't: no on-site detox, not residential, not their plan. That's a call your admissions line doesn't have to take.
by pointing them to your admissions phone number or request form. Your intake staff screens and decides.
No assistant today confirms anyone's coverage for treatment. It passes along what your site says.
In this field
Every page we help you publish is written to carry the 988 and 911 notice, plainly. Every mental-health Answer Kit carries the 988 line, and every draft is written to send anyone in crisis to 988 or 911 first, before anything about your program. You check each one before it goes up. Visibility in this field has to be responsible before it is anything else.
You don't have to be a marketer, and nothing here goes near patient brokering or a board rule.
What you get back
The Free AI Check puts one question to one live AI engine (Perplexity), in your town, and shows you the answer as it came back, names included. No login, nothing to interpret.

Only if your approach is explained on the open web in a form AI can read. When a person asks an AI engine about medication-assisted treatment, Suboxone, Vivitrol, counseling, or an intensive outpatient program, it answers from what it finds published. The Answer Kit drafts those answers for your own site from what your pages already say, with no outcome claims, so AI has something accurate to repeat. The Free AI Check shows what one engine says today. This is general information, not medical advice.
Safety comes first, and every mental-health Answer Kit carries a clear crisis notice. If you or someone you know is in crisis or thinking about self-harm, call or text 988, the Suicide and Crisis Lifeline, or call 911, or go to the nearest emergency room. A treatment program is not a substitute for emergency care. Every draft is written to send anyone in crisis to 988 or 911 first, and you check each one before it goes up.
AEOptim reads only public information about your program and what you tell it. It never connects to your EHR or patient records. The code the Answer Kit adds is question-and-answer code, with no tracking in it.
A person does. Call us at 313-395-8171 or write to human@aeoptim.com.
