For Residential Treatment Centers

Incoming Call...

Family Member

"Hi, my daughter needs help. Do you have any beds available for admission?"

AI Receptionist

"Yes, we have availability in our adolescent program. I can schedule an assessment with our clinical team. Would tomorrow at 10 AM work?"

✓ Assessment Scheduled • Tomorrow 10 AM

The Problem

RESIDENTIAL TREATMENT CENTERS
MISS CRISIS CALLS

Families in crisis call at 2 AM seeking help. Beds sit empty while admission staff can't keep up. When families call, every minute matters—and you're losing them to competitors who answer first.

You Miss Crisis Calls When Families Need You Most

A desperate parent researches your facility at midnight, calls seeking immediate help, and gets voicemail. By the time your admissions team checks messages in the morning, they've already admitted their child to a facility that answered.

The Cost
$45,000/month
Lost per empty bed

Your Admissions Team Is Overwhelmed

While conducting an intake assessment, five more families call. Insurance verifications, clinical consultations, family inquiries—your team can't handle everything at once. Desperate families wait on hold, get frustrated, and call your competitor instead.

The Cost
80+ calls/day
Per admissions coordinator

Assessments No-Show and You Lose Them Forever

Your clinical team blocks off time, prepares intake paperwork, and the family never arrives. You send one follow-up call that goes to voicemail. That's it—they're gone to another facility. No second chance, no recovery, just wasted clinical hours and another empty bed.
