About Kipu Health
Kipu Health is the leading EHR platform for addiction medicine and substance abuse treatment, ranked #1 by Black Book Research in both 2025 and 2026. Founded in 2012 and headquartered in Miami/Coral Gables, Florida, Kipu serves hundreds of behavioral health and addiction treatment facilities across the United States. The platform is purpose-built for treatment centers handling detox, residential treatment, outpatient programs, and medication-assisted treatment (MAT). Kipu includes comprehensive EMR, CRM for patient acquisition and admissions, and Revenue Cycle Management (RCM). Key differentiators include full 42 CFR Part 2 compliance for substance use disorder treatment records, MAT tracking for Suboxone, methadone, and Vivitrol, dosing protocols, pharmacy connections, and compliance monitoring. The name 'Kipu' comes from the Quechua language word for 'talking knots,' an ancient recording system.
