Negative keywords for addiction treatment centers
Rehab ads attract counseling students, people looking up meeting schedules or court-ordered classes, drug-test cheaters, and anyone who meant physical rehab or a house rehab. This list trims those and leaves every family and patient query alone.
Updated
Before you paste: what NOT to block
Insurance, cost and family queries are the admissions pipeline. Keep them:
- rehab that takes medicaid
- alcohol detox center near me
- how much does rehab cost
- drug rehab that accepts blue cross
- how to get my son into rehab
Every list on this page is a starting point, not a decree. Scan it against your own offer before applying — one business's junk click is another's best lead.

Frequently asked questions
Why are the DIY-and-info and gambling lists left off?
Families search in questions - "how to get my son into rehab", "what to do when someone relapses" - and the DIY list blocks "how to" and "what is" outright. Gambling is left off because gambling addiction is a treatment line for many centers. Note that Google restricts who can advertise in this category; check Google's current policy before launching.
Should rehabs block AA and NA meeting searches?
Block the schedule and worksheet phrasing, not the people. Someone looking up a meeting time is already in a free program and rarely converts, but a family member searching "aa vs rehab" is weighing treatment. That is why this list names "aa meeting schedule" and "12 step worksheets" rather than a bare "aa" or "12 step".
These are generic industry negatives - safe in most accounts of this kind, but not tuned to yours. Inside Keyword Ninja, the Smart Blocklist cross-checks this exact catalog against your real search terms and shows the wasted spend before you block a single word.
