Madison health-tech startup invests $1M to improve, simplify access to mental health treatment  worldwide
RehabPath’s purchase of Recovery.com will play a pivotal role in helping people find the care they need

MADISON – RehabPath, one of Madison’s fastest-growing startups, has taken a massive step forward in their pursuit to connect people with quality mental health and addiction treatment. 

The health-tech firm, founded in 2017, recently purchased Recovery.com and moved their product there for a total investment north of $1 million, as they pursue their mission to break down barriers that make it challenging for families and individuals to find trusted treatment options online. 

“We’ve spent years building and refining an online resource–nearly every person seeking mental health treatment begins their search online–that is easily findable and empowers patients, family members, and referring professionals to make informed decisions that ultimately lead to more people receiving care,” said Ben Camp, CEO, RehabPath. “Recovery.com is an inclusive, memorable and optimistic name that lends instant credibility and trust to these efforts. When we were presented with the opportunity to purchase this domain name, I knew it would be a multiplier on the work our team is doing and the investments we’ve already made.”

A continuum of care 

While rehab or inpatient care is sometimes necessary for people struggling with mental health and substance use disorders, it’s only one aspect of treatment in the life-long journey of recovery.  

Because RehabPath – and now Recovery.com – helps people find an array of treatment options, it’s imperative they easily communicate the breadth and depth of services to anyone searching for care. That’s where Recovery.com comes into play. 

“When people hear the word ‘rehab’ they tend to think of a residential stay for addiction treatment. But for a long time now we’ve helped people looking for all types of mental health treatment at various levels along the continuum of care, and our company’s mission involves helping people through every step of their recovery journey. So it had become clear we had outgrown the name RehabPath.”

Today, more than 3,400 centers from 50 countries offer more than 10,000 different programs on Recovery.com to help people with an array of mental health disorders, including depression, substance use disorders, eating disorders, trauma, anxiety, PTSD, bipolar disorder, and countless others.  

Growth in a time of need 

Each month, more than 100,000 people use Recovery.com to connect directly with treatment providers who fit their needs, and those numbers show no sign of slowing down. 

RehabPath has been able to help so many people, largely due to their commitment to doing things the right way. Along with being entirely independent from any treatment center and adhering to the National Association of Addiction Treatment Providers’ code of marketing ethics, at its core, RehabPath puts the patient first. 

This has allowed RehabPath to build a business model that creates value for both patients and treatment centers. While giving patients a comprehensive resource and listing all treatment options for free, RehabPath provides an advertising product for treatment centers to get additional reach on Recovery.com, and do it at a cost that is often much better than other advertising channels. This leads to centers needing to spend less money with Google and other channels and more on high-quality care. 

“Sometimes it’s hard to wrap my mind around the impact our platform is having on lives around the world. Recently, one of our advertising treatment centers let us know that they tracked over 92 admissions into their program in 2023 from our website,” Camp said. “That’s 92 lives and 92 families impacted by finding us online.” 

Each of those admissions represents a person who came to Recovery.com in a state where they needed help and didn’t know where to turn. Each of those people were able to navigate Recovery.com, compare dozens or even hundreds of options depending on their search criteria, and find the right option for themselves or their loved ones.

“As you can imagine, this is very motivating to our team, and drives our urgency to make our platform better and reach more people each day,” Camp said. 

About RehabPath & Recovery.com 

Founded in 2017, RehabPath helps people discover a path to recovery that’s right for them. RehabPath aims to provide unbiased, educational and helpful information about treatment for addiction and mental health. Annually, RehabPath estimates it connects more than 200,000 people from Madison to Mumbai with treatment centers tailored to their specific needs.

WINTER EVENT SERIES WINTER CARNIVAL CONTINUES DURING WARMER CONDITIONS WITH MORE THAN A DOZEN EVENTS FEB. 7-10

MADISON – The Wisconsin Union’s winter-themed event series, called Winter Carnival, will continue Feb. 7-10 during warmer-than-usual weather conditions with an updated events schedule that includes more than a dozen events, including an appearance of part of an inflatable version of Lady Liberty at Library Mall, rather than on Lake Mendota.

The Winter Carnival lineup currently includes:

• Feb. 7
  • $1 cheese curds
  • Open Mic Night
• Feb. 9
  • Inflatable replica of the Statue of Liberty’s head on Library Mall
  • Mario and Sonic at the Winter Olympic Games tournament, presented by University Recreation & Wellbeing
  • Winter Beats: a rhythm game challenge
  • Luminary-making
  • Snow Ball: live music, dancing and swing dancing instruction
• Feb. 10
  • Inflatable replica of the Statue of Liberty’s head on Library Mall
  • Free maple taffy-making
  • Scavenger hunt, called Secret Agent
  • Valentine’s Day and kindness greeting card-making as well as hot chocolate
  • Family Fun in Alumni Park, presented by the Wisconsin Alumni Association
  • Newly added on Feb. 6: Yard Games at the Memorial Union Terrace, presented in collaboration with University Recreation & Wellbeing
  • Sock snowperson-making
  • Mini horses photo opportunities and meet-and-greet
  • Limited-time, house-made mac and cheese available for purchase

Events are free unless otherwise noted at union.wisc.edu/wintercarnival. The event lineup is subject to change, including due to weather conditions.

The Wisconsin Union team has observed a thinning of ice and several weak and open spots, with ice being about 6 inches thick near the Lake Mendota shoreline alongside Memorial Union. The team continually monitors Lake Mendota’s ice throughout the winter season, including to evaluate its nearby ice skating and other wintertime activities. The Wisconsin Union team has canceled, re-imagined or moved some wintertime events in light of thinning ice, a low amount of snow, and predicted upcoming warmer-than-usual temperatures.

“We will still offer more than a dozen Winter Carnival events for guests to enjoy,” Outdoor UW Director Dave Elsmo said. “Our team of staff and student leaders gathered to ensure the continuation of Winter Carnival. We look forward to welcoming people to a Winter Carnival under early spring-like conditions.”

The Wisconsin Union team brings out a to-scale, inflatable replica of the Statue of Liberty’s head, arm and torch to frozen Lake Mendota each year during Winter Carnival. This year’s appearance will occur on land at Library Mall and will include the Statue’s head. More information about the Statue’s history of Madison appearances can be found here.

Winter Carnival has historically included both weather-dependent events and experiences that do not require any specific weather conditions. With weather having required lineup changes this year and in years past, the Wisconsin Union team encourages patrons to visit union.wisc.edu/wintercarnival for the most up-to-date Carnival lineup each year.
