Networking sites, both social and business ones, allow users a wider choice of places from which to receive information. Social networking sites, such as Facebook® and MySpace® are mainly used for personal interaction, however, it is just from such places that information comes to light which may lead a person to realize that either she need help personally or her “friend” is in need of help.
Business networking sites, on the other hand, help both themselves and the community by providing information on their products and services in ways that two or more businesses or organizations can help each other. For instance, a medical facility may have networking relationships with facilities that offer alcohol treatment programs. The medical facility can communicate with the alcohol rehab facility in order to facilitate finding treatment for a patient with such a problem.
When organizations such as G&G Holistic Drug Rehab, which provides alcohol treatment programs, utilize both social and business networking sites, in addition to their own individual website, everyone profits. Individuals on social networking sites are able to find out information on alcohol treatment or alcohol rehab without having to go directly to such a site. The “back door” approach, from a social networking site to the site that can provide help is often exactly what one may need in order to seek the help needed by that person or a loved one.
Social networking sites provide the “human” touch that is so often needed, especially when one is seeking information on alcohol treatment. Business networking sites will attract those who may be seeking the same basic information, but may prefer approaching such things from a more “professional” standpoint. Both ways lead to the same goal: that of promoting and supplying alcohol treatment for those who need it. And, that is what’s important.
