Linda Thomas shared thisJonathan, love that your Behavioral Health Group - BHG McDaniel team was part of the Mobilize Recovery Las Vegas stop! Great work!Linda Thomas shared thisToday was a great day with my Las Vegas teams! We had the opportunity to participate in the Mobilize Recovery Narcan at Night event, hosted right at our McDaniel location. It was an amazing opportunity to come together as a team, connect with the community, and most importantly, promote recovery. There was a lot of positive energy today—hot dogs, plenty of swag, lots of smiles, and a team that was genuinely excited to be there and represent Behavioral Health Group. One of the highlights was getting to sign the Mobilize Recovery van and leave our BHG mark alongside so many others who are committed to making a difference. Days like today are a reminder that the work we do goes beyond what happens inside the walls of our treatment centers. Recovery is about community, connection, reducing stigma, meeting people where they are, and making sure people know that help is available. I’m proud of my Las Vegas teams for showing up with great attitudes and representing BHG and the recovery community so well today. Great people. Great energy. Great cause. And a great day promoting recovery! #BehavioralHealthGroup #MobilizeRecovery #NarcanAtNight #Recovery #RecoveryIsPossible #BehavioralHealth #CommunityEngagement #LasVegas #TeamBHG

Linda Thomas reposted thisLinda Thomas reposted thisKratom is often marketed as a "natural" remedy for pain, energy or opioid withdrawal, but growing safety concerns are prompting some states to take action. Why are states banning kratom and what does this mean for people who use it?

Linda Thomas liked thisHumbled and honored to be included in this year’s Texas Rising Stars! Immensely grateful for the amazing team I work with and the unparalleled mentorship and support of Tony Barbieri throughout my career. Grateful and blessed!Linda Thomas liked thisWe’re proud to congratulate Chandler Roide, J.D. on another well deserved selection to Texas Rising Stars! Chandler brings a business perspective to the practice of law. She advises clients on significant mergers and acquisitions, corporate structuring, and the legal and operational issues that accompany growth and change. Her transactional experience includes substantial work in the student housing industry, giving her a practical understanding of the parties, priorities, and business considerations involved in moving a deal forward. Her practice also has a strong healthcare and behavioral health focus. Chandler counsels providers on regulatory compliance, payor negotiations, reimbursement, employment matters, and the operational challenges created by an evolving regulatory environment. Clients value Chandler’s ability to connect legal advice with business realities. She brings industry knowledge, practical judgment, and a clear understanding of what each client is working to accomplish. Congratulations, Chandler! #KesslerCollins #DallasLawyers #RisingStars #BehavioralHealth #StudentHousing #HealthCareLaw #MergersAndAcquisitions

Linda Thomas liked thisLinda Thomas liked thisOctober is Substance Use & Misuse Prevention Month, an opportunity to raise awareness about substance use and the importance of prevention, treatment and recovery. For people living with opioid use disorder (OUD), access to evidence-based treatment can save lives. Methadone treatment has been shown to reduce the likelihood of dying from an opioid overdose by 50% or more. We remain committed to ensuring people living with OUD can access comprehensive, evidence-based treatment that supports long-term recovery.

Linda Thomas liked thisLinda Thomas liked thisMore treatment options can mean more opportunities to meet patients where they are. Brixadi and Sublocade are long-acting forms of buprenorphine used to treat opioid use disorder (OUD). Both help reduce opioid cravings and withdrawal symptoms without the need to take buprenorphine every day, but there are important differences in dosing frequency and how treatment begins. For referral partners, understanding these options can help you have informed conversations with patients who may benefit from medication for opioid use disorder. At BHG, our care teams work with each patient to determine which treatment option may best fit their individual needs and recovery goals. If you’re supporting someone who may benefit from OUD treatment, we’re here to help.

Linda Thomas liked thisLinda Thomas liked thisRecovery is stronger when communities come together. 🩵 Our Rhode Island team has been out in the community connecting with neighbors, local organizations and fellow behavioral health providers in support of recovery. Recently, BHG Regional Outreach Manager Greg Graustein joined the inaugural Rally4Recovery Washington County in Kingston, a community celebration bringing people together around recovery, health, wellness and local resources. He also joined Brandy Bates and American Addiction Centers at a Recovery Event Day in Woonsocket - with a couple of four-legged friends making the day especially memorable. 🐐 We’re grateful for opportunities like these to build relationships, share resources and remind people that recovery is possible - and no one has to navigate it alone. Thank you to the organizers, community partners and everyone who came out to celebrate recovery across Rhode Island. #RecoveryMonth #CommunityOutreach #BehavioralHealth #RecoveryIsPossible

Linda Thomas liked thisLinda Thomas liked thisSometimes your current agency is doing a good job and you should stay. I say that to prospects. Out loud. It costs me business. I used to be the person firing agencies. Eighty people, 25 websites, a marketing budget in the millions. Every year or two we would decide a partner was not working and start over. Most first conversations I have now open the same way. Somebody is on their fourth or fifth agency in three years and carrying the scar tissue from all of it. The first three to six months of any engagement is relationship building. It is the least productive and most expensive stretch of the whole thing, and switching resets the clock on all of it. I have looked at a site, told the operator their partner is doing fine, handed them three things to change, and walked away from the deal. The inverse is also true and I do not soften it. If the basic blocking and tackling is missing, fire them tomorrow. More on this with Cliff McDonald on Recovery.com Recovery Reach, along with the 6% of traffic that drove 85% of revenue and the $42,000 website problem. Full episode in the comments.

Linda Thomas reacted on thisLinda Thomas reacted on thisCongratulations to Tony Barbieri, President of Kessler Collins, P.C., on another selection to Texas Super Lawyers! Tony has spent years building a practice that intersects law and business. He advises clients through mergers and acquisitions, private equity and venture investment, commercial real estate, corporate governance, and complex business disputes in state and federal courts. He regularly leads multidisciplinary deal teams–bringing operators, investors, developers, and consultants together around a single transaction. His practice also includes a longstanding focus on healthcare, particularly behavioral health, where he counsels providers on corporate structuring, regulatory compliance, and payor negotiations. Using his background in computer science, Tony also advises clients on health IT, telehealth, and data privacy. Clients come to Tony for his unique understanding of business and legal exposure.

Jordan The Podcast Strategy
A large healthcare system already has a valuable podcast audience before the show ever becomes public: its own staff and referring physicians. Launching internally first gives the team time to test the format, improve the review process and establish a sustainable publishing schedule without immediately spending on public promotion. Internal engagement also provides useful evidence. Completion rates, department-level listenership and staff feedback can reveal whether the content is genuinely working or only benefiting from initial curiosity. The internal phase should not continue indefinitely. Set a clear episode count, timeline or engagement target that triggers the public launch. Starting with staff is not reducing the scope of the podcast. It is testing the same public-facing concept with an informed audience before investing more heavily in distribution. https://lnkd.in/gKUiTwUK #HealthcarePodcast #InternalCommunications #PodcastMarketing #HealthcareMarketing #EmployeeEngagement #ContentStrategy #PodcastStrategy #HealthcareCommunications
