New Jersey changed the rules on April 6, 2026.
Zoobook is ready.

N.J.A.C. 8:43K, the state's new licensing chapter, lets one outpatient license cover mental health treatment, addiction treatment and opioid treatment program services. A facility on the integrated license needs one system that runs all of them. Zoobook is that system: one platform for mental health, addiction treatment and OTP clinics, with full NJSAMS integration.

The rule

What changed in New Jersey

Why it matters

The problem with other EHRs

Most behavioral health EHRs were designed for a single service line: addiction treatment or mental health, an opioid treatment program or outpatient counseling. A facility that runs integrated care on one of them ends up keeping parallel charts, documenting twice and reconciling records by hand. New Jersey's integrated license puts those services on one license, and running them on one system is the simplest way to keep up.

Zoobook is one platform for mental health treatment, addiction treatment and OTP services. Nothing is entered twice.

What Zoobook does

One license, one system

A facility on the integrated license runs mental health treatment, addiction treatment and, in some cases, an opioid treatment program under one roof. Zoobook is one platform for all of them, so your team documents, bills and reports from one system, and nothing is entered twice.

Every level of care in one platform

Outpatient and intensive outpatient programs, residential, detox and OTP clinics.

Full NJSAMS integration

Zoobook connects to NJSAMS, the state's treatment data system. It pulls information out of NJSAMS so it is not typed into Zoobook again, and it produces the file for NJSAMS's own import, which Zoobook can load for you or you can download and upload yourself.

Methadone and MAT

Dose tracking for manual pumps and automated dispensing systems, take-home sorting, missed-dose alerts and reports in one click. Dosing takes 1 to 2 minutes per patient.

Built around your workflows

Zoobook can be customized to fit your programs' workflows, buprenorphine and naltrexone treatment and psychiatric care included.

Telehealth built in

Video and phone visits, through the Zoom integration.

Notes in the formats you use

Zoobook AI notes in BIRP, SOAP and DAP formats.

Billing and claims in the same system

Admissions and referrals

The Maxwelo CRM module inside Zoobook tracks referrals and admissions.

Outcomes and analytics

Built-in reports on retention, treatment plan completion, no-show rates and drug screen trends, and a report builder for measures of your own, such as discharge outcomes, readmissions and patient satisfaction.

Reports when surveyors walk in

One-click reports for the Department's surveys and for auditors.
