// For treatment & assessment providers
Identify the moment. Offer a path to treatment.
A DUI or drug arrest is, for some people, the week they first consider getting help. Addiction treatment direct mail from Leads For Lawyers puts your program in their hands in that week — a fixed-fee advertising campaign built on the daily public-record harvest that has served defense attorneys since 1992.
The short answer
Leads For Lawyers identifies DUI and drug-related arrests in the counties you choose, verifies the mailing address, and mails your approved treatment advertisement First Class the same day. The piece never reveals the arrest. You pay a fixed fee for the campaign, not for calls or admissions. You see which markets produced calls; everything after the call stays with your clinical team.
Addiction treatment direct mail, timed to the event
Most treatment marketing begins when someone searches. Search ads, directories, and referral networks all compete for the same person at the same late moment — after they have decided to look, and alongside every other advertiser who noticed. A public arrest record is an earlier signal. It is published daily by sheriffs, police departments, and courts, and Leads For Lawyers has spent more than three decades building the harvest that collects it in every state.
For a treatment or assessment provider, that record marks a window: a few days in which a person, and often a family, is asking what happens next. A calm, factual advertisement that arrives in that window does not diagnose anyone. It makes a resource visible at a moment when it may be wanted — and leaves the decision where it belongs.
Advertising, not referral
This program is deliberately different from the letters Leads For Lawyers mails for DUI defense attorneys. An attorney’s letter names the charge. A treatment piece does not. It is a general advertisement for your program — “Facing a DUI or drug-related charge?” — mailed to a list prepared from public records, using the recipient’s name and address and nothing else. The reader is never told that an arrest is known, and no one at Leads For Lawyers contacts them.
The commercial structure matches the message. You buy a campaign at a fixed price — list, printing, postage, mailing — and the price does not change with results.Leads For Lawyers is not paid per call, per assessment, or per admission, receives no patient information, and plays no part in who is admitted. Your admissions team treats every call as the ordinary inquiry it is.
Same-day production, market by market
A record collected in the morning is a verified, printed, First-Class piece by the afternoon, mailed from the nearest of 3 regional mail houses — Los Angeles, Milwaukee, and Atlanta — placed for USPS transit. More than 20,000,000+ pieces have moved through that pipeline since 1992. The mechanics are laid out in how it works.
Start with the counties around a facility you want to fill. Choose DUI only, or DUI and drug-related categories. Read the tracked calls and scans for that market, then add the next one. A multi-state network sees one program and one report, however many counties it covers.
// From record to call
Five steps. One decision, and it isn’t ours.
01 — IDENTIFY
The record posts
A qualifying DUI or drug-related arrest appears in the public record of a county you have selected.
02 — VERIFY
Address confirmed
The name and mailing address are verified and deduplicated. Nothing else about the person is used or kept.
03 — MAIL
Your ad goes out
Your approved piece is printed and mailed First Class the same day from the nearest regional mail house.
04 — RESPOND
The reader decides
If help is wanted, they call the number or scan the code. The call rings your admissions or assessment line directly.
05 — MEASURE
Calls, by market
You see calls and scans per campaign and county. What happens after the call stays with you.
// The message
An arrest is not a diagnosis.
The piece is read at a kitchen table, often by a spouse or a parent before the person it was addressed to. It has to respect that. Leads For Lawyers writes and designs treatment mail to offer a resource, not to assert a problem, and never to promise anything about a court.
Never
- “We know you were recently arrested for DUI.”
- “Treatment can get your charges dismissed.”
- “Complete our program and stay out of jail.”
Instead
- “Facing a DUI or drug-related charge?”
- “If alcohol or drug use has become a concern, taking action now can make a difference.”
- “If treatment is something the court may require, or something you know you need, getting help is a step you can take today.”
The outer envelope carries no treatment language. The copy is yours to approve, and your counsel’s to review, before a single piece mails.
// Who it's for
Built for the programs a DUI or drug charge leads people toward
Substance-use treatment centers
Residential and outpatient programs that want a channel reaching people before they search, in the counties around each facility.
DUI assessment and education programs
Providers of the evaluations and courses a court or licensing agency may require after a DUI. The requirement makes the timing precise.
Court-approved and licensed providers
Programs whose services may satisfy a condition of sentencing, probation, or license reinstatement, where the provider is qualified to say so.
Multi-state behavioral-health networks
Organizations that need one program and one report across many markets, with county-level control over what runs where.
// How the program is structured
Conventional advertising, documented that way
Every treatment campaign Leads For Lawyers runs is set up so the record shows a straightforward sequence: the provider bought advertising, paid a fixed price, the ad was mailed, interested people called on their own, and the provider applied its normal screening. In practice that means:
- A fixed campaign price for list, printing, postage, and mailing — set before the first piece runs
- No payment tied to calls, appointments, assessments, or admissions, and no bonuses for patient volume
- A general treatment advertisement that acknowledges a possible charge and never reveals a record
- Name and mailing address only — no diagnoses, history, or insurance information ever requested
- Tracked phone number and QR code per campaign, reporting calls and scans, not outcomes
- Admission results stay inside the provider; nothing about a patient returns to us
- Data retention and deletion after the campaign, written into the agreement
- A campaign file — contract, list description, approved piece, mail dates and quantities — you can hand to counsel
We identify the moment and deliver the message. Your professionals provide the path. Nothing in between is a referral.
Behind every record is a person. Some will need an attorney. Some may need an ignition interlock. And some may decide it is time to address alcohol or drug use. The same daily harvest serves all three; only the message, and who sends it, changes.
// Questions treatment teams ask
Treatment outreach, answered plainly.
What is addiction treatment direct mail?
Addiction treatment direct mail is a printed advertisement from a treatment or assessment provider, mailed First Class to people who may be ready to consider help. Leads For Lawyers builds the mailing list from public arrest records — DUI and drug-related charges collected daily — and produces and mails the provider's approved piece the same day, so it arrives while the question of what happens next is still open.
Is Leads For Lawyers treatment outreach a patient referral service?
Leads For Lawyers treatment outreach is not a patient referral service — it is advertising: list preparation, printing, postage, and mailing at a fixed price agreed before the campaign runs. Nobody at Leads For Lawyers speaks to the recipient, hands anyone to the provider, or is paid according to who calls, is assessed, or is admitted. The person reads the piece and decides for themselves whether to make the call.
Does the treatment letter mention the recipient's arrest?
A Leads For Lawyers treatment letter never mentions the recipient's arrest — the piece is a general treatment advertisement. It may acknowledge that the reader could be facing a DUI or drug-related charge ("Facing a DUI or drug charge?") but never states that the provider knows about an arrest or obtained a record. An arrest is not a diagnosis; the reader, not the mailing, decides whether the message is relevant.
Which arrests can trigger a treatment mailing?
Leads For Lawyers can trigger a treatment mailing from DUI and DWI arrests and from drug-related charges, in the counties the provider selects. Which categories run, and in which markets, is set with the provider before activation; many programs begin with DUI only and add drug-related categories once the first markets have been read.
How is treatment outreach priced?
As a fixed fee for the campaign — a set price for the list, the printing, the postage, and the mailing of an agreed quantity, unchanged by the results. Leads For Lawyers does not price per call, per assessment, or per admission, and does not accept bonuses tied to patient volume. That is what keeps the arrangement conventional advertising.
What information does Leads For Lawyers receive back?
Only what a tracked phone number or QR code records: that a call or a scan happened, when, and from which campaign. Assessments, admissions, diagnoses, insurance details, and clinical outcomes stay inside the provider's own systems. Nothing about a patient is shared with Leads For Lawyers, and nothing is needed to run the program.
Can a provider run treatment direct mail while its ads and referral relationships continue?
A provider can run Leads For Lawyers treatment direct mail while its ads and referral relationships continue, and most should. Search ads reach people who have already decided to look; this mail reaches people a few days after the event that may prompt that decision. The letter typically arrives first, the search it prompts lands on the provider's existing presence, and tracked numbers show which markets produced calls.
Does a treatment program face the waiting periods attorneys do?
Attorney solicitation rules are rules of the bar and apply to lawyers. A treatment or assessment provider is governed instead by healthcare advertising, privacy, and anti-kickback requirements, which vary by state and by the kind of provider. Leads For Lawyers structures each campaign around those rules from the start and recommends the provider's counsel review the piece before it mails.
// Compliance
Treatment outreach uses public arrest records and is sold and priced as advertising. An arrest, charge, or other legal event does not establish that a person has a substance-use disorder or needs treatment, and no piece says otherwise. Healthcare advertising, privacy, licensing, and anti-kickback requirements vary by state and by provider type; each campaign is structured around them from the start, and the approved piece should be reviewed by the provider’s counsel before it mails.
