Substance use disorder clinic operators settle allegations of misleading consumers. Florida-based Evoke Wellness, LLC, Evoke Health Care Management, LLC, and their officers, Jonathan Moseley and James Hull, have settled allegations that they used deceptive Google search ads and telemarketing for their substance use disorder treatment clinic to impersonate other treatment providers. The proposed order, which must be approved by a federal judge before it goes into effect, will:

  • ban the defendants from using their rivals’ names in search-engine advertisements
  • prohibit misrepresentations related to substance use disorder treatment services
  • prohibit the defendants from impersonating other businesses
  • require the defendants to put a compliance program in place to monitor their call centers for misrepresentations
  • require them to take corrective action against agents who violate the order
  • impose a $7 million civil penalty against the defendants, which is partially suspended to $1.9 million because of their inability to pay the full amount

According to the FTC’s January 2025 complaint, the defendants targeted consumers searching online for specific substance use disorder clinics. They used the names of other clinics as keywords to masquerade as those clinics in Evoke’s Google ads, which paired those names with the phone number to Evoke’s call center.
