While people are dying, they’re navigating broken websites, calling disconnected numbers, and getting trapped in advertising funnels. This isn’t a technology problem — it’s a values problem.

Our Story

We are Rize Recovery

Rize Recovery founders - Chris, Pat & Nick

Chris, Pat & Nick

Two long-term recovered addicts who now run treatment centers across Phoenix, Mesa, Scottsdale, and Gilbert — and a designer/developer who’s built products at Apple, Amazon, Target, and Disney. We’re a family team that’s lived this crisis as patients, operators, and technologists.

America doesn’t have a treatment shortage; it has a routing failure. Families and social workers call number after number — wrong, disconnected, or leading to facilities that are already full. A federal audit of FindTreatment.gov found that an estimated 14,283 of 22,106 facilities had inaccurate contact or services information.

That’s not unfortunate — it’s unacceptable. It’s what you get when healthcare infrastructure is optimized for billing codes and compliance instead of real-time access for human beings in crisis.

Rize exists to rebuild that front door.

For people and families, we use cutting-edge AI to turn their actual story into clear, personalized treatment options in real time. For facilities and case managers, we provide live bed visibility and routing tools that replace chaos with a shared, trustworthy source of truth.

From our founders

Healthcare shouldn't be a treasure hunt when someone's life is on the line.

Our Philosophy

Our belief

Recovery should be about healing, not hunting for help. When someone is ready to take the hardest step of their life, the system should meet them with clarity and immediate support.

Radical Transparency

Real-time availability. Actual costs. Genuine reviews. No hidden agendas, no marketing manipulation, no false promises. Just the truth you need to make informed decisions.

Immediate Action

When someone is ready for help, they need it now. Not tomorrow, not after a week of phone calls. Our platform connects people to care in minutes, not days.

Product Vision

What we’re building

A recovery platform that treats people like humans, not leads. Where transparency replaces manipulation, and finding help is as simple as it should be.

Smart Matching

AI that understands your needs, insurance, and location to connect you with the right care immediately.

Live Availability

Real-time bed counts updated daily. No more calling full facilities or getting your hopes up unnecessarily.

Verified Providers

Every facility is licensed, vetted, and regularly audited. We stake our reputation on quality.

Direct Connection

Skip the middlemen. Connect directly with intake coordinators who can admit you the same day.

Precision Matching

Match based on your specific needs: co-occurring disorders, trauma-informed care, LGBTQ+ affirmative treatment.

Outcome Tracking

We track real outcomes, not just admissions. Providers are accountable for results.

Who we serve

People in Crisis

Individuals ready to take the hardest step of their lives deserve immediate, honest support — not a sales process.

Families

Parents, siblings, and loved ones who need clear information and immediate action, not false hope and runarounds.

Healthcare Providers

Hospitals, case managers, and clinicians who need reliable placement options for their patients, not marketing pitches.

Our Values

Our line in the sand

  • No Advertising Revenue

    We will never take money to promote one facility over another. Recommendations are based on your needs, not who pays us more.

  • Real-Time Truth

    Every facility in our network updates their availability in real-time. No ghost listings or outdated information.

  • No Lead Generation

    We don’t sell your information. We don’t pass you around to sales teams. Your crisis is not our business opportunity.

  • Outcome Accountability

    Facilities in our network are accountable for patient outcomes, not just admissions. Quality matters more than quantity.
