In March 2025, the Google Ads healthcare and medicines policy will be updated to allow the promotion of recovery-oriented drug and alcohol addiction services in Canada.
In order to promote these services, advertisers will need to be certified by LegitScript’s Addiction Treatment Certification program. LegitScript-certified advertisers will be able to apply for Google certification following the policy update in March. For more information about the policy, please see the healthcare and medicines policy.
Violations of this policy will not lead to immediate account suspension without prior warning. A warning will be issued, at least 7 days, prior to any suspension of your account.
