Today, over 47 million Americans struggle with substance use disorder, and hundreds die from overdose each day. To find care, treatment seekers must wade through archaic systems that are fragmented, opaque, and time consuming to navigate. This lack of access and coordination drives hundreds of billions in unnecessary costs and means less than 10 percent of people with addiction actually receive care.  

At Laptis, our mission is to streamline access to trusted substance use treatment. We are building an AI-enabled, data-intelligent referral highway to connect the dots between those looking for addiction treatment and those who can provide it. Our technology bridges patients, providers, and health systems—ensuring that individuals in crisis are met with clarity, speed, and trusted care pathways. Laptis is now live in multiple hospitals and treatment centers across Massachusetts, having connected over 300 people to care.
