Behave Health

What Behave Health does

Behave Health Corp. is a privately held, San Francisco-based software company founded in 2015 that builds an all-in-one cloud platform combining CRM, EHR, Revenue Cycle Management (RCM), and ERP specifically for behavioral health and substance use disorder (SUD) treatment organizations. The platform is designed around census-based workflows — bed management, medication rounds, multi-level-of-care transitions, group therapy notes, COWS/CIWA scoring, ASAM documentation, and medication-assisted treatment tracking — rather than the appointment-based model used by general-purpose healthcare software. Compliance is built in at the architectural level, with consent management, audit logging, and role-based access controls designed for 42 CFR Part 2 SUD privacy requirements on top of HIPAA. The product is sold as an integrated suite of modules, with a Behave+ premium add-on tier that layers AI-assisted documentation, speech-to-text, and predictive analytics on top of the core platform. Mobile apps (iOS and Android) extend the platform to staff in the field.

The company targets three vertical segments: (1) healthcare providers — inpatient detox, residential, PHP, IOP, outpatient, counseling centers, and group practices; (2) community providers — recovery residences, recovery community organizations, peer support, recovery coaching, case management, and drug courts; and (3) provider oversight organizations — NARR state affiliates, government agencies, trade associations, accreditation bodies, and insurance/value-based care networks. Pricing is quote-based and tailored to organization size, programs, and modules selected, billed annually. The company employs 11-50 people and serves "hundreds of facilities" across all 50 US states, with its flagship strategic alliance with the National Alliance for Recovery Residences (NARR) and 19 state affiliates functioning as a community-driven distribution channel into 2,000+ recovery facilities. The company also offers adjacent services — compliance consulting and Behave360 behavioral health consulting — and supports customer communities through virtual office hours. The only disclosed capital event in the available data is a $4,432,258 funding round in October 2019; ownership, cap table, and current investor composition are not publicly disclosed. The company is led by founder and CEO Ben Weiss.
