What this site is

A directory of AI agent use cases in behavioral health, plus long-form guides. It covers addiction treatment centers, mental health practices, recovery coaching, peer support, sober living, and family support. Every entry says how mature the use case is and where the privacy line sits.

How we write

• No invented vendors, statistics, quotes, or outcomes. If we cite something, we link the source. If we couldn't verify it, we left it out.
• Person-first language. People with a substance use disorder. People in recovery.
• Every use case addresses PHI honestly: what's safe with de-identified data, what needs a Business Associate Agreement, and what shouldn't be automated.
• Nothing here is legal advice. We tell you when to call counsel.

How it's paid for

Flat-fee sponsorships from vendors. Never pay-per-lead or pay-per-admit. Read the sponsor policy.

If you need help now
