How we ran the research
10 unbranded questions a person seeking treatment, or their family, would ask: who to choose, alcohol detox, opioid and dual diagnosis treatment, cost, reviews, and a private clinic vs a large hospital. Nine cover the whole US; one asks about the New York metro area, the largest.
Each question ran once in the Glasa product through ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity, Copilot and Google AI Mode, market set to United States, on 1 October 2026 (12:16–13:03 UTC).
46 of 50 answers were collected. Firm mentions were extracted from the answer texts by Glasa's research script and merged by name; counts are answers mentioning a firm, not occurrences. Accreditors, government locators, payers, directories and referral sites were removed with exclusion lists.
Sources are the URLs each engine cited in its answer, grouped by domain.
One run on one day. Answers change between runs, accounts and places, so treat counts as a snapshot, not a ranking of quality. Being named says nothing about a center's licence or results. Check the facility's state licence and accreditation (Joint Commission or CARF) with the state agency. Mentions were identified by Glasa's research script from the answer texts; spelling differences can shift a count by one or two.
