Generic software just won’t cut it. Substance abuse treatment centers need EHR and EMR software built for SUD documentation, privacy, billing, and day-to-day operations. Benji is built for behavioral health. Substance abuse treatment centers can rely on our industry-specific platform for managing clinical and administrative work without forcing their teams into a generic medical record system.
From recurring group documentation and ongoing treatment plans to 42 CFR Part 2 consent handling, utilization review, and denial workflows, SUD programs manage requirements that touch nearly every team, every day. Benji connects electronic records, revenue cycles, reporting, and automation so operators can reduce repetitive tasks, improve visibility, and spend more time on the work that moves their programs forward.

The right substance abuse EHR will fit the way your SUD programs document services and coordinate work. Built on 20 years of clinical and financial behavioral health experience, Benji supports professionals at every step. From charting and progress notes to discharge and follow-up, Benji is built to fit your unique workflows.
Here are a few of the features that help Benji stand out as a behavioral health software solution:

42 CFR Part 2, privacy, and access controls
SUD records require careful consent and disclosure handling. Benji supports compliant 42 CFR Part 2 workflows by helping clinicians follow disclosure guidance and documenting patient consent forms. Role-based access, multi-factor authentication, audit tracking, encryption, and data residency capabilities add safeguards for sensitive information and personally identifiable information at rest, in transit, and during daily use.
These controls also support organizations using Benji as behavioral health EHR & RCM software across a wider range of behavioral health services. During your Benji demo, ask to test consent changes, restricted-record access, disclosure tracking, and audit review with the roles your organization actually uses.
Billing, denial management, and utilization review software
Clinical documentation and revenue cycle management are closely connected. Gaps in electronic medical records can slow authorization reviews, create billing rework, and make denials harder to resolve. Benji maps documentation to medical codes and charge capture, supports claim creation and clearinghouse edits, and automatically posts Electronic Remittance Advice for review. Custom denial workflows help teams identify why claims were denied so they can manage appeals, recover eligible revenue, and reduce repeat issues.
Built by Benji for substance abuse treatment centers
Benji is by and for behavioral health professionals. Our platform brings clinical documentation, privacy controls, reporting, automation, interoperability, and RCM workflows together so operators can spend less time moving between disconnected tools and more time caring for patients.
