Operators license-reviewed before listing
If you've placed even one patient this month, you've felt this
Discharge planning is hard enough without spending two days on the phone trying to find a bed.
Cold-calling sober houses to find one with an open bed
Operators don't return your calls until your patient has already discharged
You can't tell which houses are licensed vs. running on a handshake
Patients end up at sketchy houses and bounce back to inpatient
Inventory is invisible — no one knows who has openings until you ask
You have no way to track outcomes — did your last placements actually stay?
How Rooted helps
The portal your discharge planners actually want to use
Built for the way clinical teams actually work — speed, transparency, and zero PHI risk.
Live bed availability — no more phone tag
See open beds from every operator on the marketplace, updated by the operator as beds turn over. Filter by services and who the home serves, then send a referral for a specific person from the same screen.
Hand-reviewed operators, ID-checked people
Every operator is reviewed by hand before listing. Operators who add the Reviewed ✓ badge also pass a government-ID check (photo ID + selfie + liveness via Stripe Identity). The badge means a real, identified person runs the home. It is not an inspection or a license.
Every referral tracked
Each referral shows its status as the operator responds, so you're not left guessing. Per-operator retention and placement stats will appear on listings once there are enough real placements for the numbers to mean something.
No PHI needed to refer — by design
A referral takes initials, age range, gender and discharge needs. No name, no date of birth, no clinical detail. Your EMR stays the source of truth.
Operators that actually respond
Operators are notified by email and in the app the moment you refer. If they don't respond, the referral moves to the next operator nearby automatically, and you'll know either way.
Built for where you place people
The marketplace is open to operators in every state. Tell us where you place people and we'll email you when operators list there.
Your first 7 days
Place one patient with us. Then decide.
No contract, no minimums, no fee. If your first placement goes smoothly, invite the rest of your team.
Day 0–1: Get verified
We confirm your treatment center's license. Same-day for most facilities. We email when you're live.
Day 1–3: Place one patient
Pick one upcoming discharge. Search open beds. Refer through the portal. You'll get notified when the operator confirms.
Day 3–7: Decide
If your patient moved in smoothly, invite the rest of your team. If anything went wrong, text our founder directly.
What discharge planners ask first
Does Rooted run these homes?
No. Rooted is the platform that connects you with independent operators. Each operator runs its own home and is responsible for licensing and compliance in its state. We review listings before they go live, but that review is not a certification or inspection.
Will this cost my facility anything?
No. Treatment centers are free forever. Operators pay $19/yr for the Reviewed badge, and can optionally upgrade to our management platform — your facility never pays.
What if an operator no-shows or kicks a patient?
Flag it on the referral and we follow up with the operator directly. Operators with repeated problems come off the marketplace.
Are these NARR-certified houses?
Some are, some aren't. We don't filter by NARR — we review each operator's license and ownership by hand. Plenty of well-run homes aren't NARR-affiliated.
Do you replace our internal placement tracking?
No. Rooted handles the matching, reservation, and confirmation. Your EMR / case-management system stays your source of truth.
What happens when our patient arrives at the house?
The operator confirms move-in via Rooted within 24 hours. You get an automatic notification. If the patient is a no-show, the operator flags it and we follow up.
What if there are no open beds in my area?
You'll see that up front — we won't pretend. The marketplace is new and we're onboarding operators now. Keep your account, tell us where you place people, and we'll email you when operators list there.
Ready to take 2 days out of every placement?
90-second signup. Free forever. We'll have your team verified by tomorrow.
