Recovery.com Partners with the Recovery Foundation to Improve Access to Treatment and Recovery Housing

Strategic collaboration with the Recovery Foundation to increase scholarship reach for treatment and step-down care; Foundation appoints first-ever Executive Director to support growth.

MADISON, WI, February 23, 2026 — Recovery.com, the leading global platform to find mental health and addiction treatment, today announced a partnership with the Recovery Foundation, a Madison-based nonprofit dedicated to eliminating financial barriers to recovery by providing scholarships for mental health and addiction treatment and recovery housing.

The partnership aims to scale access to critical recovery support, particularly access to recovery housing, where financial gaps often prevent individuals from sustaining long-term recovery after leaving clinical care.

“Recovery is possible when people have the right support at the right time. Our partnership with the Recovery Foundation is about expanding that support, so more people can build lasting recovery without financial barriers standing in the way,” said Ben Camp, CEO and Co-Founder of Recovery.com, which committed funding to the Recovery Foundation to hire their first Executive Director.

Recovery.com’s national reach, marketing and technology infrastructure, and funding commitment will help expand the Recovery Foundation’s historically Wisconsin-focused scholarship model.

The Recovery Foundation, which will share office space at the Recovery.com headquarters in Madison, has appointed Roger Ray Bird as its first-ever Executive Director to help scale the organization nationally.

Bird, a peer support specialist in long-term recovery, brings a unique blend of lived and professional experience to the position, including 20 years as a business executive, the launch of two nonprofit organizations, and a career as a professional athlete. In his new role, he will focus on expanding the reach of the foundation nationally through fundraising and increasing awareness of the scholarships.

“The Foundation role is my dream job,” said Bird. “I’m now able to use all my life experiences to help change the world, one person at a time.”
