The second call gets answered too

RehabSignal's AI receptionist for treatment centers picks up the admissions calls your coordinators and on-call cell can't reach, asks a few questions, books a callback or assessment and hands the caller over live.

Last Friday night

Nine calls, one cell, three went to voicemail

After 5 p.m. on Friday the on-call cell took nine calls. Three came in while the coordinator was already talking to someone, and each one reached voicemail. At 8:00 admissions called back, and one parent had already booked elsewhere.

Voicemail until the morning callbacks

Before RehabSignal: the on-call cell's Friday night with nine calls, three of them to voicemail while the coordinator was already talking to someone.

Where it answers

Calls, site chat and texts

The same questions and the same hand-off, whichever way a family reaches out.

The AI receptionist's setup page: a calm voice in English or Spanish that follows the caller, every call recorded and written out, the test calls passed before launch and a Spanish test call written out.

A calm voice talks with callers in English or Spanish, following whichever one the caller uses. Every call is recorded and written out as a transcript.

The call order

Second in line, behind your admissions coordinators

You set the order: coordinators first, the on-call cell next, the AI receptionist last. We put it in place with you.

  • Ring order

    You choose how many rings before it answers

    By day, calls ring your coordinators; after hours, the on-call cell. Any call nobody reaches within your set rings, or that comes in while every line is in use, goes to the AI.

    • Weekends follow their own hours, and holidays can too
    • Busy lines pass the next caller straight on, not to voicemail
    The ring order for the admissions line: coordinators by day, the on-call cell after 5, and the AI receptionist only after the set rings or when every line is busy.
  • Live hand-off

    Passed to a person, live

    When someone wants a person, the AI rings the on-call cell and gives your coordinator a short summary before connecting. If nobody picks up, it books a callback and texts the time.

    • Your coordinator hears who it's for and which program first
    • The card records each transfer and the minute it happened

  • Morning handover

    The night's calls, ready by 7:00

    At 7:00 the admissions director opens last night's list: who called, what each asked for, what got booked, who needs a callback.

    • The report counts the calls the AI took, how many it booked and how many it passed live to your on-call coordinator
    • Your coordinators search transcripts by name, program or date
    Last night's calls as the admissions director sees them at 7:00: who called, what each asked for, what got booked and who needs a callback.

Also included

  • Your ring order, per line
  • Recordings and transcripts
  • Holiday and weekend hours
  • Booking confirmation texts
  • Answers from your programs
  • Pre-admission form by text
After the call

What the morning coordinator finds on the card

The 11:04 caller's card opens with the recording, the transcript and a three-line summary: who it's for, which program, the callback time. The source is set from the number dialed, and the booking sits on your calendar.

Call it yourself on the demo

On the demo, ring a sample line built like a treatment center's. You'll hear it answer, ask its questions, book a callback and hand you to a person.

    I still carry the on-call cell some weekends, but two calls at once no longer means one voicemail.

    Our wordsfor unsafe calls

    I approved what it says when a caller sounds unsafe: 988 or 911, then a transfer to our on-call coordinator.

Questions asked

Before it answers your line

Type transfer, Spanish or transcript to start.

6 questions

Does it take over our admissions calls?

No. Your coordinators still answer first, and the on-call cell rings after hours. It takes only the calls nobody reaches.

Can it transfer calls live?

Yes. It rings your on-call cell and connects the caller once your coordinator picks up, after a short spoken summary. No pickup means a booked callback.

What does it ask callers, and who decides?

Your center does. It asks your opening questions: who it's for, which program, a callback time and consent to text. Health details wait for a coordinator.

Does it say it's an AI?

Yes, in its first sentence. It gives no clinical advice and never says whether someone is or was a client.

Is a call to the AI private?

The AI keeps to general questions, and health details go to a coordinator or the pre-admission form. Texts, calls, recordings and forms run in HIPAA mode, under a BAA your center signs with us.

What about callers who speak Spanish?

It talks with them in Spanish, and moves back to English whenever they do.
