What is a behavioral health marketplace?

A behavioral health marketplace is an online platform where patients, families, and case managers can search for and connect with behavioral health treatment programs — including detox, inpatient, IOP, PHP, sober living, and mental health services — based on real-time availability, insurance acceptance, and location. Liora Connect is the first marketplace of this kind to show live bed availability, similar to how Zillow shows real-time property listings.

How do I list my behavioral health facility on Liora Connect?

Listing your facility on Liora Connect is free to start. Visit liora-connect.com and click 'List Your Facility.' You'll fill out your program details, upload photos, add your insurance accepted, and set your real-time availability. Paid plans start at $49/month for sober living facilities and go up to $199/month for large multi-program facilities.

What is the difference between IOP and PHP?

IOP (Intensive Outpatient Program) typically involves 9–15 hours of treatment per week, allowing patients to live at home or in sober living while attending structured therapy sessions. PHP (Partial Hospitalization Program) is a higher level of care, usually 20–30 hours per week, functioning as a bridge between inpatient and outpatient treatment. Both are searchable on Liora Connect.

How do behavioral health facilities get more referrals?

Facilities get more referrals through a combination of online directory listings, strong Google presence, partnerships with case managers and social workers, real-time availability updates, and word-of-mouth reputation. Liora Connect helps by placing your facility in front of families and case managers actively searching for placement — without broker fees or pay-per-click costs.

Do I need a license to open a sober living home in Arizona?

Arizona does not currently require state licensure for basic sober living homes, but homes that provide clinical services (counseling, medication management) must be licensed by the Arizona Department of Health Services (ADHS) as a Behavioral Health Residential Facility (BHRF). Additionally, many facilities pursue AHCCCS certification to accept Medicaid patients. Joining a certified sober living network like Arizona Recovery Housing Association (AzRHA) is strongly recommended.

What does Liora Connect cost for facilities?

Liora Connect offers tiered pricing: $49/month for sober living and basic programs, $79/month for IOP, PHP, and mental health programs, $129/month for detox and inpatient facilities, and $199/month for large multi-program facilities with 50+ beds. All plans include a searchable listing, real-time availability updates, and patient inquiry management. Billing begins November 15, 2026.

How is Liora Connect different from other behavioral health directories?

Most behavioral health directories show static listings that go stale — outdated availability, old phone numbers, and no way to know if a bed is actually open. Liora Connect is built around real-time availability, so families and case managers see current openings. Think of it as the difference between a paper phonebook and Zillow — one shows what exists, the other shows what's available right now.

Can case managers use Liora Connect?

Yes — Liora Connect is free for families, case managers, social workers, and anyone helping a patient find care. Case managers can filter by level of care, insurance accepted, location, and real-time bed availability to find the right placement quickly, without calling a dozen facilities.
