Maine’s MARR Adopts Behave Health’s All-in-One Platform to Collect Outcomes Data
The Maine Association of Recovery Residences (MARR) has strengthened its mission of supporting recovery housing by implementing Behave Health’s all-in-one behavioral health software across its network. With this transition, MARR and its certified homes can streamline daily operations while systematically collecting outcomes data—an essential measure of long-term recovery success.
Why Outcomes Data Matters in Recovery Housing
Traditional substance use disorder (SUD) metrics like treatment completion or relapse rates only tell part of the story. To advance care, recovery residences need to track recovery capital: the full spectrum of personal, social, and community resources that fuel sustainable recovery, including:
Social connections and peer support
Financial stability and employment
Physical and mental health
Community involvement and resource access
For Maine’s recovery residences, this shift means moving beyond occupancy and compliance tracking toward a holistic understanding of resident progress. With standardized outcomes data, MARR can:
Evaluate resident well-being beyond treatment milestones
Improve consistency and quality of certified home standards
Provide policymakers and funders with reliable, evidence-based reporting
Strengthen the visibility and impact of recovery housing statewide
Why Behave Health’s All-In-One Platform Was the Right Fit
MARR needed a system that could both simplify operations and capture meaningful outcomes data. Behave Health’s all-in-one software was purpose-built for behavioral health and recovery services, making it the clear choice.
Key Features Tailored for Recovery Housing:
Centralized Operations: Unify admissions, billing, clinical notes, property management, scheduling, and compliance in one cloud-based dashboard.
Built-In Outcomes Tracking: Standardize and automate the collection of recovery capital data using research-backed assessment tools.
Compliance-First Design: Align with state and national recovery housing standards, easily generate required reports.
User-Friendly Experience: Accessible design makes it easy for staff at all technical levels to document resident care, schedule events, manage tasks, and monitor residence operations—whether on desktop or mobile.
The Impact for Recovery Residences in Maine
By adopting Behave Health’s all-in-one platform, MARR has modernized recovery housing operations statewide. Certified residences now benefit from:
Streamlined workflows: Less paperwork, more focus on residents
Standardized reporting: Every residence collecting outcomes the same way
Meaningful data: Tracking real progress, not just bed counts
Public health support: Providing policymakers with trustworthy, actionable insights
This ensures that Maine’s recovery residences have access to the same level of operational technology as larger treatment providers—while remaining tailored to the unique needs of recovery housing.
Maine’s Role in National Progress
By investing in outcomes-driven technology, MARR positions Maine as a leader in recovery housing innovation. Consistent, transparent data collection not only demonstrates the effectiveness of recovery residences, it also strengthens advocacy for supportive housing as a critical component of substance use disorder care. As accountability and value-based care models expand, Maine’s strategy offers a proven blueprint for other states.
With this step, MARR positions Maine as a leader in data-driven recovery housing. Consistently measuring outcomes underscores the critical role residences play—not just in providing safe housing, but in supporting long-term recovery.
This initiative reflects a growing national emphasis on measurement, transparency, and accountability in recovery housing. Maine now serves as a model for other states looking to elevate how recovery outcomes are tracked and reported.

Frequently Asked Questions about Recovery Capital Data
What is recovery capital data?
Recovery capital measures the resources—personal, social, and community—that sustain recovery, offering a fuller picture of long-term well-being.
How does Behave Health’s software help MARR collect it?
The platform includes built-in tools developed in partnership with Dr. David Best of the Recovery Outcomes Institute. These tools standardize how recovery capital is measured and reported across certified residences, making data collection simple and reliable.

How does this help funding and policy decisions in Maine?
Standardized data allows MARR to demonstrate measurable results, secure funding, shape public health strategies, and advocate for recovery housing at the state level.
