Answer capsule

The November 2026 Alcohol Rehab Centers benchmark compares 10 companies across 100 AI answers that met its inclusion rules. Hazelden Betty Ford leads with 3 recommendations (3.00% of answers). At least one tracked company was recommended in 3 answers; some answers recommended several companies.

The rankings distinguish being mentioned from receiving an affirmative recommendation, then examine placement and the wording used about each company. Earlier monthly results show how counts and rates changed, with each month using its own answer total. These results describe the answers reviewed, not product quality or customer satisfaction. Differences between monthly samples limit comparisons and do not establish why a result changed.

The leaderboard orders companies by how many answers affirmatively recommended them, not by how often they appeared. A company can be named frequently and still receive few endorsements, so mention counts and recommendation counts answer different questions.

Ties reflect equal recommendation counts and should be read as shared positions rather than hidden distinctions. Placement figures are nested inside recommendations, so first-place and shortlist results describe where endorsements landed, not extra wins.

3 distinct answers recommended at least one tracked company. Counting each company recommendation separately gives 6, because an answer can recommend several companies. Answers with no tracked recommendation may still have recommended companies outside this comparison.

Every included answer named at least one tracked company, yet only a small minority recommended one. That gap shows that appearing in an answer and being affirmatively endorsed are separate outcomes, and the report treats them separately throughout.

Because a single answer can recommend several companies, company-level recommendation totals exceed the number of answers containing a recommendation. Answers without a tracked recommendation may still have named companies outside this comparison set.

Reach and affirmative recommendation

Hazelden Betty Ford ranks 1 by recommendation count. Mentions: 47 (47.00%); recommendations: 3 (3.00%). Top 3 placements: 2 (2.00%); first-place placements: 2 (2.00%).

Wording about the company: 5 positive, 42 neutral, 0 negative mentions. The proportion of mentions that also included a recommendation was 6.4%. The net framing score was 0.11 (defined in Methodology).

44 mentions had no recorded recommendation. Of recorded recommendations, 66.67% were Top 3 and 66.67% were first-place.

Hazelden Betty Ford leads on recommendation count, but its mentions far outnumber its endorsements. Most of its appearances carried neutral wording and no recorded recommendation, so reach and affirmative recommendation diverge sharply in these answers.

The recommendation-to-mention ratio describes the recorded answers only. It is not a conversion measure, and a high ratio on a small mention base should be read with that base in view.

Placement counts are subsets of recommendations: a first-place result is also a shortlist result, and both sit inside the recommendation total. They should not be summed with recommendations or read as separate wins.

Several companies with substantial mention counts recorded no placements at all. Where recommendation bases are small, placement percentages can look strong without indicating broader standing, so the printed counts are the safer reference.

Framing describes the wording used around a company in the selected answers. Neutral wording dominates for most companies, and no company recorded negative mentions in this sample. Positive wording appears for several, but it does not by itself explain why a recommendation was or was not recorded.

Net framing summarizes positive minus negative wording across mentions. It is not a measure of customer sentiment, reputation or company quality.

Company results in detail

Hazelden Betty Ford

Questions This Section Answers

  • What do the November 2026 AI answer results show about Hazelden Betty Ford mentions, recommendations and placement?

Hazelden Betty Ford ranks 1 by recommendation count. Mentions: 47 (47.00%); recommendations: 3 (3.00%). Top 3 placements: 2 (2.00%); first-place placements: 2 (2.00%).

Wording about the company: 5 positive, 42 neutral, 0 negative mentions. The proportion of mentions that also included a recommendation was 6.4%. The net framing score was 0.11 (defined in Methodology).

44 mentions had no recorded recommendation. Of recorded recommendations, 66.67% were Top 3 and 66.67% were first-place.

From October 2026 to November 2026, Hazelden Betty Ford's mention count rose from 35 to 47, while its recommendation count fell from 7 to 3. The recommendation rate was 12.07% and 3.00% respectively.

Hazelden Betty Ford leads the recorded answers by recommendation count, though endorsements form a small share of its much larger mention presence. Most mentions carried neutral wording, with a few positive and none negative. Its placements were few, and those recorded sat at the top of the shortlist.

Across the two monthly snapshots, mentions rose while recommendations fell, so the measures moved in opposite directions. The recommendation rate differed between separate answer samples; that comparison alone does not establish why either count changed.

American Addiction Centers

Questions This Section Answers

American Addiction Centers ranks 2 by recommendation count. Mentions: 88 (88.00%); recommendations: 1 (1.00%). Top 3 placements: 0 (0.00%); first-place placements: 0 (0.00%).

Wording about the company: 10 positive, 78 neutral, 0 negative mentions. The proportion of mentions that also included a recommendation was 1.1%. The net framing score was 0.11 (defined in Methodology).

87 mentions had no recorded recommendation. Of recorded recommendations, 0.00% were Top 3 and 0.00% were first-place.

From October 2026 to November 2026, American Addiction Centers' mention count rose from 46 to 88, while its recommendation count fell from 2 to 1. The recommendation rate was 3.45% and 1.00% respectively.

American Addiction Centers recorded the widest mention reach in the set but only a single recommendation, with no shortlist or first-place placements. Its wording was overwhelmingly neutral, with a minority of positive mentions and none negative.

Mentions increased from the prior month while recommendations decreased. Because monthly answer samples differ, the comparison shows the recorded change without explaining it.

Caron Treatment Centers

Questions This Section Answers

  • What do the November 2026 AI answer results show about Caron Treatment Centers mentions, recommendations and placement?

Caron Treatment Centers ranks 2 by recommendation count. Mentions: 3 (3.00%); recommendations: 1 (1.00%). Top 3 placements: 0 (0.00%); first-place placements: 0 (0.00%).

Wording about the company: 1 positive, 2 neutral, 0 negative mentions. The proportion of mentions that also included a recommendation was 33.3%. The net framing score was 0.33 (defined in Methodology).

2 mentions had no recorded recommendation. Of recorded recommendations, 0.00% were Top 3 and 0.00% were first-place.

From October 2026 to November 2026, Caron Treatment Centers' mention count fell from 5 to 3, while its recommendation count stayed at 1. The recommendation rate was 1.72% and 1.00% respectively. The count was unchanged: the rate difference comes from dividing it by 58 answers in October 2026 and 100 in November.

Caron Treatment Centers appears in few answers, and one of those mentions carried an affirmative recommendation. That ratio rests on a sparse base, so it should be read as a description of the recorded answers rather than a stable pattern. Wording was mostly neutral, with one positive mention and no negative framing, and no placements were recorded.

Its mention count fell from the prior month while its recommendation count held steady. The rate difference follows from dividing an unchanged count by a different answer total, and the two months are separate samples.

The Recovery Village

Questions This Section Answers

  • What do the November 2026 AI answer results show about The Recovery Village mentions, recommendations and placement?

The Recovery Village ranks 2 by recommendation count. Mentions: 54 (54.00%); recommendations: 1 (1.00%). Top 3 placements: 1 (1.00%); first-place placements: 0 (0.00%).

Wording about the company: 9 positive, 45 neutral, 0 negative mentions. The proportion of mentions that also included a recommendation was 1.9%. The net framing score was 0.17 (defined in Methodology).

53 mentions had no recorded recommendation. Of recorded recommendations, 100.00% were Top 3 and 0.00% were first-place.

From October 2026 to November 2026, The Recovery Village's mention count rose from 21 to 54, while its recommendation count fell from 2 to 1. The recommendation rate was 3.45% and 1.00% respectively.

The Recovery Village combined wide mention reach with a single recommendation, which landed on the shortlist rather than in first place. Wording was predominantly neutral with some positive mentions and none negative.

Mentions rose sharply from the prior month while recommendations fell. The two measures therefore moved apart, and the differing monthly samples limit what the comparison can establish.

Only months with verified results are shown. Monthly sample coverage is listed in Methodology.

Each month is a separate sample of AI answers, with differing answer totals and service coverage, so counts and rates are not directly comparable across columns. The table shows how recorded results moved, not why.

Rank changes across months should be read alongside the underlying counts and the sample sizes printed in Methodology. A changed rank does not by itself demonstrate a gain or loss of standing.

What the November Rankings Show

These results answer different questions. Mention reach shows how often a company appeared; recommendation counts show affirmative endorsement; placements show where endorsements landed within an answer; and framing describes the wording around a company. A company can be prominent on one measure and absent on another.

The leaderboard therefore ranks endorsement counts, not visibility or quality. Ratios describe the recorded answers rather than customers or sales, and the monthly comparisons show change without establishing its cause.

Methodology

Questions This Section Answers

  • How were the November 2026 Alcohol Rehab Centers AI visibility measures counted, and what do they not establish?

This benchmark has partial coverage: 2 of 3 planned question categories contributed usable observations; 1 contributed none. This describes question-category coverage, not demonstrated platform outages. Findings apply to the available answer set.

The month in the title is the reporting period. The exact dates when the original AI answers were collected have not been verified.

Each company is counted at most once in each answer that meets the benchmark rules. A recommendation requires both an affirmative endorsement and positive wording. Mention, recommendation, Top 3 and first-place rates use the full benchmark answer total. Top 3 and first-place results are included within recommendations, not added to them.

The recommendation-to-mention ratio divides recommendations by mentions. It describes AI answer wording, not customer conversion. Net framing is positive minus negative mentions, divided by all mentions, on a scale from -1 to +1. It does not measure customer satisfaction or company quality.

Market: US; 10 tracked companies. AI services represented: ChatGPT, Copilot, Gemini, Google AI Mode, Google AI Overviews.

The source does not provide a reader-facing definition of “reserved”; that screening label is reported without inferring a reason for exclusion. Only the included benchmark answers form the rate denominator.

One answer can mention or recommend several companies. Adding company totals would therefore count some answers more than once. The results describe the AI answers reviewed, not independently verified facts about the companies or their products.

The answer samples differ between months. These comparisons show how the recorded results changed; they do not establish why they changed.

Coverage is partial: only some planned question categories contributed usable answers, and findings apply to the included answer set. The reporting month labels the period, though exact collection dates were not verified.

Each company is counted at most once per answer, and placement results sit inside recommendations rather than alongside them. Recommendation-to-mention ratios and net framing describe answer wording, not customer behavior or company quality. Monthly samples differ in size and service coverage, so comparisons show recorded change without explaining it.
