#1 Recovery Housing / Sober Living Software

Recovery housing software centralizes property/bed management, resident records, rent collection, roles/permissions, and daily operations—without the complexity of a clinical EHR. HopeLinx is purpose-built for recovery residences; EHRs like Behave Health focus primarily on clinical documentation and revenue cycle management for treatment providers. Using a niche tool improves fit, setup speed, and training time for sober living operations.

HopeLinx supports documentation and workflows commonly needed to operate in line with NARR’s four Levels of Support (administration, residents’ rights, safety, recovery environment, and more). Operators remain responsible for compliance, but the platform helps organize the evidence you need. See NARR Standard 3.0 and guidance resources.

Both. HopeLinx fits Level 1–4 residences with configurable roles, notes, bed boards, payments, and simple intake—to support peer-run homes through service-provider residences.

Most programs go live in hours—and typically within 48 hours—depending on data import and setup. We handle imports, configure roles and properties, and train your team so you start with a clean bed board and payment setup right away.

Yes. Accept card payments (and Cash App Pay) through Stripe Connect, while also recording cash, check, or money orders so the full ledger lives in one place for audits and reporting.

Yes. Map properties → rooms → beds, view occupancy on a bed board, and move residents between beds while maintaining clear placement history.

Yes. We regularly migrate data from spreadsheets and other platforms. Because HopeLinx is recovery-housing-first (bed boards, residents, rent payments), the transition is straightforward and the workflow match is tight.

• SobrietyHub: focused on sober living, with modules like rent and UA/BA tracking—good niche overlap. HopeLinx competes head-to-head but emphasizes faster onboarding and cost control for multi-property operators. 

• One Step: serves sober living plus drug courts, coaches, and treatment centers; broader scope can dilute “recovery housing software” focus. HopeLinx stays narrow to win usability and speed for houses. 

• Behave Health: EHR/RCM for behavioral health; includes housing/bed tools but is clinic-centric. HopeLinx is housing-first for non-clinical operations. 

No. Recovery residences (including peer-run/monitored homes) can use HopeLinx without being a licensed clinic. See NARR definitions of recovery residences and levels; align your operations accordingly.

Use role-based access, audit trails, transport-layer encryption (HTTPS), and data-minimization. For clinical PHI, EHRs must meet HIPAA requirements; many recovery homes don’t store clinical records but should still apply SAMHSA-aligned privacy practices for SUD-related information.

Yes—collect applications, agreements, testing acknowledgments, and house rules digitally so staff reduce intake time and keep signed copies with the resident profile.

Yes. Recovery residences include a spectrum of sober living/transitional models. Software built for this spectrum lets you adapt without adopting a full clinical EHR.

Start with NARR’s Standard 3.0 and resources, plus SAMHSA’s national guidance pages for recovery support. We curate links for operators on our Resources page.
