What Is LegitScript Certification?

Guide Behavioral Health is proudly LegitScript-certified — a distinction that confirms we operate with full transparency, compliance, and integrity.

This certification is trusted by companies like Google, Meta (Facebook/Instagram), and Bing. It ensures that our programs:

  • Meet all applicable legal requirements

  • Follow strict privacy protections (HIPAA-compliant)

  • Are staffed by qualified, background-checked professionals

  • Deliver services transparently and ethically

Being LegitScript-certified means families like yours can move forward with confidence.

Why It Matters

When you're searching for help, it can be overwhelming to know who to trust. LegitScript was created to bring peace of mind to that process. It’s the gold standard of online transparency for addiction treatment and behavioral health care.

At Guide Behavioral Health, we’re committed to meeting — and exceeding — these standards because we believe families deserve honest, clear, and ethical care.

We don’t take that lightly. And we’re proud to be part of a small group of vetted providers who do things the right way.

What It Took to Earn It

We became LegitScript-certified by going through a comprehensive review process that included:

  • Verifying our business structure and licensing

  • Submitting background checks on leadership

  • Demonstrating our commitment to ethical care

  • Sharing documentation on our policies, procedures, and safety standards

This process wasn’t easy — and that’s the point. You can trust that the providers who make it through are held to the highest level of accountability.
