What is Recovery Beacon?
Recovery Beacon is a 24/7 AI admissions phone agent built specifically for US behavioral health and addiction treatment centers. It answers every inbound call, qualifies admissions leads, safely handles emotional and crisis conversations, and escalates appropriate calls to human staff.
How does Recovery Beacon improve admissions conversion rates?
By answering every call instantly, reducing drop-offs, qualifying leads before human handoff, and keeping callers engaged during peak volume, Recovery Beacon helps treatment centers convert more inquiries into actual admissions—without increasing staff workload.
How is Recovery Beacon different from a traditional call center or answering service?
Unlike traditional answering services, Recovery Beacon is trained specifically for behavioral health admissions, pre-qualifies callers based on insurance, clinical fit, and readiness, handles emotional and crisis calls with strict safety protocols, and provides structured intake summaries before human handoff. This results in higher-quality leads and less workload for your admissions team.
Can Recovery Beacon handle crisis or suicidal callers safely?
Yes. Recovery Beacon is designed with built-in crisis detection and escalation protocols. If indicators such as suicidal language, overdose risk, or immediate danger are detected, the AI immediately escalates the call to a human and uses approved safety language. It never provides medical advice or attempts clinical assessment.
Does Recovery Beacon replace our admissions team?
No. Recovery Beacon supports and enhances your admissions team—it does not replace them. The AI handles initial call answering, screening, and data collection so your staff can focus on qualified, high-intent admissions conversations.
What types of treatment centers use Recovery Beacon?
Recovery Beacon is used by addiction treatment centers, mental health facilities, dual diagnosis programs, detox and residential treatment providers, and multi-location behavioral health organizations. It is built specifically for US-based behavioral health programs.
How does Recovery Beacon qualify admissions calls?
Recovery Beacon pre-qualifies callers by collecting and assessing insurance type (private, self-pay, disqualifiers), clinical needs (SUD, mental health, dual diagnosis, detox), geographic eligibility, and willingness and readiness for treatment. Only qualified or high-potential leads are routed to your admissions team.
What information does Recovery Beacon collect from callers?
For qualified callers, Recovery Beacon securely captures name, contact information, and caller relationship, insurance details and ability to self-pay, substance use or mental health concerns, treatment history and detox indicators, and red flags or disqualifiers. This information is delivered as a structured intake summary to your team.
How does Recovery Beacon track and report admissions calls?
Recovery Beacon provides a clean, centralized dashboard that gives treatment center leaders complete visibility into admissions performance—without manual reporting or disconnected systems. The dashboard shows total inbound call volume, answer rates and response times, qualified vs. unqualified admissions calls, call outcomes and dispositions, escalations, handoffs, and safety flags, and structured intake summaries for each qualified caller.
Is Recovery Beacon compliant with behavioral health standards?
Recovery Beacon is built with strict compliance boundaries: no medical or clinical advice, no diagnosis or treatment recommendations, no promises of admission, and mandatory human escalation for safety-sensitive calls. This ensures ethical, responsible use in behavioral health settings.
