Recovery Outcomes Institute

What Recovery Outcomes Institute does

Recovery Outcomes Institute (ROI) is a Florida-incorporated non-profit organization founded in 2017 and headquartered in Boynton Beach. It develops and disseminates evidence-based tools for measuring and building recovery capital — the personal, social, and community resources that support sustained recovery from substance use disorders. The organization's core technology is the Recovery Capital Management System (RCMS), a SaaS outcome-measurement platform powered by the REC-CAP assessment and built on the academic foundation of the Assessment of Recovery Capital (ARC) and BARC-10 instruments, which were validated through research led by Research Director David W. Best Ph.D. RCMS provides REC-CAP administration every 90 days, peer staff caseload dashboards, program operations dashboards, demographics and equity reporting, individual recovery journey visualizations, and a custom report builder used for grant compliance and stakeholder updates.

ROI monetizes through a mix of subscription SaaS revenue (RCMS, pricing on inquiry), professional services revenue from on-site and virtual instructor-led training, on-demand course licensing (Recovery Capital 101, in pre-launch waitlist), and one-time book sales distributed via Amazon. Its go-to-market combines direct enterprise sales for platform and training contracts, community-led engagement through a Certified Professionals Directory and community-of-practice model, and event-driven on-site training delivered to organizations, conferences, and networks.

The organization serves recovery residences (including NARR-affiliated operators), drug and therapeutic treatment courts, recovery community organizations, collegiate recovery programs, peer support specialists, academic researchers, and statewide behavioral health agencies. Internationally, its research footprint extends to the United Kingdom and Australia through affiliated academic roles at Leeds Trinity University, the Australian National University, and Monash University. As of the available data, ROI reports 400+ partner organizations and 26,000+ completed REC-CAP assessments across 15+ U.S. states and 5 countries.

Core offering

It complements these tools with on-site, virtual, and self-paced training programs for the recovery workforce, supported by a community of practice and peer-reviewed research publications.

Product overview

Recovery Outcomes Institute operates as a unified platform-plus-services organization centered on the science of recovery capital. The core product is the RCMS (Recovery Capital Management System), an outcome measurement platform powered by the REC-CAP Assessment — a validated instrument that measures personal, social, and community recovery capital strengths and barriers. Training programs (On-Site Training, Virtual Training via Zoom, and the forthcoming Online Course Recovery Capital 101) provide workforce development for recovery-focused systems. The portfolio is tied together by a body of peer-reviewed research publications, a certified recovery professionals directory, and the RCMS platform's dashboards and reporting tools that translate recovery capital data into actionable program insights.

Emerging players

• Eleos Health: Measurement-based care platform for behavioral-health providers that captures session-level clinical data and surfaces outcome insights. Comparable to ROI as a behavioral-health measurement platform with overlap in the 'measure what works in care' thesis, although Eleos is centered on mental-health therapy rather than substance-use recovery.
• Eleanor Health: Outpatient addiction and mental-health treatment provider with outcomes-oriented programming and population-health contracts with payers. Comparable to ROI for its focus on value-based care in SUD and longitudinal outcome tracking, although Eleanor Health delivers clinical services rather than measurement infrastructure.

Direct peers

• Pelago (formerly Quit Genius): Digital substance-use management platform used by employers and health plans, with embedded screening, measurement, and coaching programs. Comparable to ROI given its shared emphasis on measurement-based care and validated instruments for tracking recovery outcomes.
• Lionrock Recovery: Delivers online counseling and telehealth services for substance use, with structured recovery support and outcomes-focused programming. Comparable to ROI because both monetize evidence-based recovery frameworks to organizations and individuals recovering from substance use disorders.
• DynamiCare Health: Substance-use recovery support platform combining incentives, coaching, and validated assessments to track member progress. Comparable to ROI through its shared focus on validated instruments, longitudinal tracking, and outcomes data captured from individuals in recovery.
• Kipu Health: EHR and outcomes platform purpose-built for behavioral health and addiction treatment providers, with measurement-based care and reporting features used by treatment programs and recovery residences. Functionally adjacent to ROI's RCMS platform given overlapping buyer (treatment programs) and outcome-reporting use cases.
• CHESS Health: Provides a recovery support platform — including the A-CHESS mobile app — for people in recovery from substance use disorders, with built-in outcomes measurement and engagement tools. Highly comparable to ROI's combination of validated instruments, a SaaS dashboard layer, and targeting of recovery residences and treatment organizations.

Broad incumbents

• Ophelia Health: Telehealth provider offering medication-assisted treatment for opioid use disorder, serving patients and health plan partners. Comparable to ROI as an established commercial SUD operator addressing the same recovery population, though delivered through clinical care rather than assessment and training.
• Bicycle Health: Telehealth provider focused on opioid use disorder, offering medication-assisted treatment and recovery support. Comparable to ROI through shared end-user (people in SUD recovery) and shared organizational buyer (recovery programs and court systems), though Bicycle Health is a clinical provider rather than a measurement vendor.
• Workit Health: Virtual substance-use disorder treatment provider offering medication-assisted treatment and counseling through a digital platform. Comparable to ROI in the broader SUD recovery stack, but positioned more as a direct care provider than a measurement and training organization.
