Treatment facilities
Fill open beds faster and receive referrals that already match your level of care and intake criteria — fewer dead-end calls, less unused capacity.
Real-time bed availability· Built in Arizona
When someone is ready for help, a bed should be available.
Ferryway is the shared placement network for behavioral health — one live view of open beds and intake requirements, shared by the facilities, first responders, and outreach workers who need it. So the moment someone says yes isn’t lost to phone tag.
In active conversations with Arizona agencies, law enforcement, and treatment providers.

The placement gap
Readiness has a window. Today, the search outlasts it.
It’s 11pm. An outreach worker is sitting with someone who, after months, has finally said yes — yes to detox, yes tonight. That yes is fragile. It may not survive until morning.
So the calls begin. One facility: no beds. Another: full for men, but maybe a women’s spot — call back at eight. A third rings out. A fourth has a bed but needs a level of care this person doesn’t meet. Each call is a closed door found one at a time, in the dark, against the clock.
By the time a bed is found, the person is gone — and the bed sits empty. Two failures at once: a person who fell through, and capacity that went unused.
Hours
can pass between someone saying yes and a bed being found — often by phone, one facility at a time.
11pm
is exactly when the window is smallest and the phone lines are quietest.
Gone
is what readiness becomes when the search outlasts the moment of willingness.
The beds exist. The willingness exists. What’s missing is a way to see them at the same time. That’s the gap Ferryway closes.
How it works
From “ready” to “placed,” without the phone tag.
One shared, real-time view of who has a bed and what it takes to fill it — so the search keeps pace with the moment.
- 01
Facilities update availability
Treatment centers, detox, and sober-living homes keep their open beds current — by level of care, by population, in seconds, from any device.
- 02
Responders search by need
Outreach workers, first responders, and intake staff filter live inventory by what the person in front of them actually needs and qualifies for.
- 03
The right match surfaces
Ferryway matches need and intake requirements against real openings — no guesswork, no calling down a list hoping someone picks up.

Placement happens
A referral goes straight to the facility holding the bed. The window stays open long enough for the person to walk through it.
Built for the people doing the work — fast enough for a kitchen table at midnight, structured enough for a hospital intake desk.
Who it's for
One network, every link in the chain.
Placement only works when everyone who touches it shares the same picture. Ferryway is built for all of them at once.
Detox & sober-living homes
Post availability in seconds and stay visible to the responders and outreach teams actively looking for exactly what you offer.
Law enforcement & fire/EMS
When a call ends in “they want help,” find a real, open bed from the field instead of a station phone — and keep people out of the ER and the cell.
Hospitals & health systems
Give discharge planning and the ED a live picture of where someone can actually go, so a bed upstairs isn’t held by a placement nobody can find.
Government behavioral health
County and state programs get a coordinated view of capacity across their region — the visibility planning and accountability have always lacked.
Community & outreach organizations
Act in the moment of willingness. See what’s open, what it requires, and where to send someone — without losing the night to phone tag.
The whole system, in sync.
When every party works from the same live inventory, beds stop going unused and people stop falling through.
Trust & compliance
Infrastructure you can put in front of a procurement officer.
Behavioral-health data demands a higher bar. Ferryway is designed so the network solves placement without ever needing to centralize sensitive records.
Facility data, separated by design
Ferryway runs on facility-level information — open beds, levels of care, intake requirements. That inventory is architecturally separated from any protected health information. The core network does not require PHI to do its job.
Built with HIPAA & 42 CFR Part 2 in mind
We design around the realities of behavioral-health data — including the heightened protections of 42 CFR Part 2 for substance-use records — so the platform fits how regulated providers and agencies are required to operate.
Security as a default, not an add-on
Encryption in transit and at rest, role-based access, least-privilege permissions, and audit logging are foundational to the platform — not features bolted on after the fact.
Accountable to public-sector standards
We’re building to meet the procurement, privacy, and data-governance expectations of counties, states, hospitals, and health systems — the institutions this infrastructure is meant to serve.
Ferryway is a coordination and availability platform, not a medical record system or a provider of care. Compliance posture matures with the company; we welcome detailed security and privacy review from prospective agency and health-system partners.
Momentum
Early, honest, and moving.
Ferryway is early, and we’d rather be accurate than impressive. No deals are signed, and we name no partners until they are.
What we do have is real demand from the people closest to the problem — public agencies, police departments, and the facilities holding the beds — and a clear path to put the platform in their hands.

Focus
Arizona
Proving the model where the need is in front of us.
The vision
Start where the need is. Build toward the standard.
Placement coordination shouldn’t depend on who you happen to know or who picks up the phone. Our long-term aim is for Ferryway to become the connective layer for behavioral-health capacity — but we’re starting narrow, in Arizona, and letting results decide how far it goes.
- Now
Statewide Arizona
Our focus is singular: build dense, reliable bed inventory across Arizona — treatment, detox, and sober living — and prove that real-time placement changes outcomes on the ground.
- Where this could lead
Counties, states & health systems
If the model proves out in Arizona, the same network can serve counties, state agencies, hospitals, and health systems that need a trustworthy, real-time view of behavioral-health capacity. We see the path — and we intend to earn it one working deployment at a time.
Prove it where it’s hardest. Earn the standard everywhere else.
