Prestigious list ranks fastest-growing private companies in America, with Recovery.com landing at No. 536.  

Madison, WI, August 12, 2025 – Recovery.com, the leading global platform for finding trusted mental health and addiction treatment, has landed at No. 536 on the prestigious Inc. 5000 list of America’s fastest-growing private companies, earning the top spot in Madison and ranking No. 5 in all of Wisconsin.

The Inc. list provides a data-driven snapshot of high growth, successful companies within the economy’s most dynamic segment—its independent, entrepreneurial businesses. Past honorees include companies such as Microsoft, Meta, Under Armour and Oracle. 

“Earning a place on the Inc. 5000 for the second consecutive year—and at No. 1 in our hometown of Madison is a milestone that reflects the relentless focus and mission driven work of our entire team,” said Recovery.com CEO Ben Camp. “In just a few years, we’ve transformed Recovery.com into the go-to platform for people seeking recovery resources that are right for their needs. This recognition is not just a measure of our growth, it’s a testament to the millions of lives we are committed to impacting in the years ahead.”

Over the past year, Recovery.com has made major strategic moves to expand its capabilities and reach:

• Acquired the Recovery Brands Care Navigation Platform, doubling its reach and increasing its ability to guide more individuals to the right treatment option.
• Launched a new advertiser certification partnership with LegitScript, strengthening quality and trust in the treatment provider marketplace.
• Partnered with grassroots organizations like Mobilize Recovery for their Campus Surge initiative and Section Yellow for a sober NFL Draft tailgate, bringing recovery awareness and resources to diverse audiences. 
• Expanded AI capabilities with the acquisition of RedFox AI, integrating advanced technology to improve the treatment search and experience.

Over half of Americans who need mental health treatment don’t receive it.  Recovery.com is working to change that and the Inc. 5000 list inclusion is a strong signal of progress toward that goal.

Strategic acquisition of premier sites doubles Recovery.com’s reach, solidifying leading market position and accelerating access to trusted treatment options for millions 

MADISON, WI. August 7, 2025— Recovery.com and American Addiction Centers (AAC) today announced the sale and transition of several leading addiction treatment care navigation websites from AAC subsidiary Recovery Brands to Recovery.com. The sites include Rehabs.com, Recovery.org, Alcohol.org, DrugAbuse.com, ProjectKnow.com, FentanylSupport.org, and Detox.net. 

The transition reflects a commitment from both parties to help individuals and families find addiction treatment options that meet their individual needs, and a recognition that digital platforms are often the first step in that journey. For Recovery.com, the acquisition represents an opportunity to expand its impact and further strengthen the tools and resources available to individuals navigating the treatment landscape. 

“We’ve spent many years and invested millions of dollars building the best place on the internet to find mental health and addiction treatment and by bringing these websites under our ownership our impact and reach essentially doubled overnight,” said Ben Camp, CEO of Recovery.com. “We’ve long believed we were a perfect home for these websites, and I’m so glad that AAC’s leadership decided the time was right to sell. This is a major win for patients and for the industry.” 

“This transaction reflects AAC’s continued commitment to expanding access to lifesaving care through mission-aligned partnerships,” said Dr. David Hans, Co-CEO of American Addiction Centers. “Our vision as a company is to foster a world free from the stigma of addiction, where quality treatment and support are accessible for all.” 

“Recovery Brands has been a trusted digital front door to treatment for millions, and this strategic sale enables Recovery.com to scale that impact even further—while allowing AAC to sharpen its focus on delivering high-quality, patient-centered care across our facilities nationwide,” said Ellen-Jo Boschert, Co-CEO of American Addiction Centers. 

The sale marks a meaningful step forward for both organizations as access to treatment remains critical.

Recovery.com reinforces its commitment to advertiser quality with enhanced verification aligned with industry standards

July 15, 2025 – Recovery.com, a leading platform connecting individuals with trusted addiction treatment resources, today announced a new partnership with LegitScript, an independent certification organization. This partnership expands Recovery.com’s existing advertiser verification processes to require LegitScript certification for certain advertisers, aligning its standards with those enforced by major platforms, including Google, Meta, and Microsoft.

“We’re excited to take this additional step to verify the credibility of our advertisers,” said Ben Camp, Founder and CEO of Recovery.com. “Recovery.com has always maintained a robust advertiser review process, and this collaboration with LegitScript builds on that foundation. Over the past several months, we’ve had detailed conversations with their team about what effective and scalable certification could look like.”

“At LegitScript, we’re committed to building a more trustworthy internet by helping platforms and providers meet high standards of transparency,” said Angela Salter, Director of Sales and Partnerships at LegitScript. “We’re proud to partner with Recovery.com in expanding access to ethical, evidence-based addiction treatment. Their leadership in adopting independent certification reinforces a growing industry-wide commitment to protecting patients and elevating care.”

A Stronger Standard for Ethical Marketing

Recovery.com’s partnership with LegitScript reflects a broader industry movement toward standards regarding permissible online advertisements for addiction treatment services. While Recovery.com already employs a strict internal verification system, the addition of LegitScript’s third-party certification brings new levels of transparency and accountability.

LegitScript certification will be required for advertisers who meet the following criteria:

• Operate in the United States or Canada
  
• Provide Substance Use Disorder (SUD) primary treatment
  
• Offer Intensive Outpatient (IOP) or higher levels of care, including Detoxification, Residential, or Inpatient treatment services
  

Streamlined Integration for Recovery.com Advertisers

As an official partner, Recovery.com is working directly with LegitScript to streamline the certification process and integrate it into its onboarding and compliance workflows. Advertisers who are already certified — or those beginning the certification process — will have dedicated support to help them achieve certification.

Industry-Wide Momentum Toward Accountability

This decision aligns Recovery.com with other digital platforms, including Google, Meta, and Microsoft, which also require LegitScript certification for addiction treatment advertising. “This is about more than compliance,” said Camp. “It’s about helping people in crisis connect with safe, ethical, and effective care. We’re proud to contribute to that mission — and to partner with others who are just as committed to raising the standard for the industry. Patients and loved ones have a right to know that the information they see online is accurate and trustworthy.”

Providers who wish to review their eligibility or seek assistance in the certification process should reach out to their performance manager.

The acquisition reinforces Recovery.com’s mission to simplify access to mental health and addiction treatment

MADISON, WI — Recovery.com, the world’s most comprehensive platform for mental health and addiction recovery, today announced its acquisition of Madison-based AI startup RedFox AI. The move reinforces Recovery.com’s commitment to responsible AI innovation and sets the stage for the development of new AI-powered tools to better connect people with care.

The acquisition brings RedFox AI’s conversational technology and its cofounders, Nick Myers and Brett Brooks, into Recovery.com’s growing team. Myers will serve as Recovery.com’s new Director of AI Innovation, leading efforts to integrate artificial intelligence across internal operations and into the company’s product roadmap. Brooks will join the engineering team to help scale AI features across Recovery.com’s platform.

“We see AI as a powerful tool to advance our mission of building the best place online to find mental health and addiction treatment,” said Ben Camp, CEO and Co-Founder of Recovery.com. “We’ve already started weaving AI into our product and internal workflows, and the addition of the RedFox team will help us accelerate that work while keeping trust, safety, and patient focus at the center.”

RedFox AI is best known for its product Navigator, a voice-guided assistant designed to help users complete at-home diagnostic tests based on FDA-regulated instructions. Its underlying architecture—a constrained retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) approach designed to minimize hallucinations—aligns with Recovery.com’s vision for building responsible AI in behavioral health.

Recovery.com’s relationship with the RedFox team, which also has deep roots in Wisconsin’s technology community, began as they worked side by side for years at Madison startup hub StartingBlock. Myers, an award-winning entrepreneur and recent appointee to the Wisconsin Technology Council Board of Directors, is himself a familiar figure in the Madison and Wisconsin startup scene, with his leadership further strengthening Recovery.com’s growing presence in the region.

“Since first crossing paths with Ben Camp, Jeremiah Calvino, and the Recovery.com team at StartingBlock in 2021, we’ve always admired their mission, and in many ways have always had a mutual value alignment – it’s been incredible witnessing their momentum firsthand,” said Myers. “Joining forces allows us to apply our technology and experience where it matters most – helping people get the right care, faster. We couldn’t be more excited to join the Recovery.com team!”

Mark Bakken, Managing Partner of HealthX Ventures and board member at Recovery.com said, “I’ve gotten to know Nick and the RedFox team over the past couple years and I’ve been impressed by their focus on building patient-centric AI solutions. Seeing them team up with Recovery.com is a proud moment for Madison’s startup community. This kind of creative partnership is exactly the type of thing that moves digital health forward.”

This announcement comes amid continued growth for Recovery.com, which was recently ranked in the top 4% of the 2025 Inc. 5000 list and recognized as the #1 fastest-growing company in Madison. The company also just announced the addition of veteran healthcare leader Sean Kell to its Board of Directors, as well as an investor.

Recovery.com is the world’s most comprehensive platform for mental health and addiction recovery. With over 20,000 providers and an AI-powered search experience, the company helps millions of people find the right care for their unique journey. Learn more at recovery.com.

Leading digital platform for finding addiction and mental health treatment continues growth with addition of former A Place For Mom CEO

MADISON, WI — Recovery.com, the global platform that connects families and individuals to mental health and addiction treatment options, added veteran healthcare leader Sean Kell to its Board of Directors and its  investor group.

Kell is currently the Chief Executive Officer of MD², a concierge medicine group with 29 practices across 13 states. He brings a strong track record of building successful businesses in online marketplaces, digital innovation, and product management—expertise that aligns seamlessly with Recovery.com’s mission. 

Most notably, Kell served for eight years as CEO of A Place for Mom, where he led the senior living marketplace’s brand strategy and business expansion. Prior to that, he held key leadership roles at Expedia, overseeing Hotels.com and later managing Expedia.com’s global online travel operations. His experience also includes senior positions at renowned organizations such as Starbucks, McKinsey & Company, and IBM.

“I’m excited to join the team at Recovery.com as both a board member and investor,” said Kell. “Spending time with the remarkable team in Madison was one of the most inspiring moments of my career. I’m eager to contribute to the company’s growth and share insights from my experience in scaling digital marketplaces, building consumer-facing brands, and fostering high-performing cultures.”

Recovery.com, with its growing network of more than 21,000 treatment centers worldwide, last year ranked #196 on the Inc. 5000 list, which honors America’s fastest-growing private companies; it ranked #2 in Wisconsin and #1 in Madison, where it was founded. The company recently released the first-of-its-kind State of Recovery 2025 report, highlighting trends and insights in addiction and behavioral healthcare, and continues to broaden its media platform with its portfolio of podcasts including the recently-launched Recoverycast hosted by Tom Farley as well as Terry McGuire’s Giving Voice podcast series – Giving Voice to Addiction, Giving Voice to Depression, and Giving Voice to Mental Health.

Candid interviews and intimate portrayals spotlight the complexities of addiction and recovery, offering a nuanced perspective. Seeking an alternative ‘high’ through creativity provides a gateway to vitality and spiritual connection.

One in seven individuals faces the challenges of substance use disorders. The tide is turning with a revolution in mental health and recovery advocacy. Alongside traditional addiction treatment methods, holistic health and arts therapies are increasingly prevalent, providing essential support for individuals in their healing journey. Extensive research on the benefits of creativity is widely documented suggesting creative expression can result in several outcomes for substance use disorders such as decreasing denial, fostering open communication, and lessening shame.

“The Creative High is a moving testimony to the power of healing through art, authenticity, and connection. These stories help counter the romantic notion that one ‘has to suffer to be creative”. — Susan Raeburn, PhD, Clinical Psychologist

At Recovery.com, our mission has always been clear: to help families and individuals find the right mental health and substance use treatment options. We’re thrilled to share that we’ve been awarded $1.2 million from the Wisconsin Department of Health Services (DHS) to enhance access to substance use disorder treatment resources across the state. This award is especially meaningful because we were founded and are headquartered in Madison, Wisconsin.

These funds, part of Wisconsin’s share of the National Prescription Opiate Litigation settlement, will allow us to expand and improve treatment provider profiles on our platform over the next four years, with $300,000 allocated annually. This initiative represents a major step toward ensuring that everyone in need can easily find and connect with the right treatment resources.

What This Means for Wisconsin

While the grant funds will be used for outreach to treatment providers, building provider profiles, and supporting technical work, we’re going further to enhance our platform to make it even more comprehensive and user-friendly. Here’s what we’ll be working on to do that:

• Upgraded Provider Profiles – Many Wisconsin-based treatment providers lack high-quality digital imagery and enhanced profiles. We’ll be updating these profiles to make them more informative and visually engaging.

• Expanding Nontraditional Recovery Resources – Recovery isn’t one-size-fits-all. That’s why we’re adding peer support organizations, Overdose Aid Kit locations, harm reduction vending machines, mobile Medication-Assisted Treatment (MAT) services, 12-Step meeting locations, and clubhouses to our platform.

• Building Stronger Community Partnerships – We’re collaborating with local organizations and leaders to spread awareness about our platform, ensuring that more people know where to turn for support.

This grant allows our team to continue our mission—connecting people with the treatment and support they need, when they need it, for free. We’re excited about the impact this will have on individuals and families across Wisconsin, and we’re just getting started.
