# Methadone Clinic Software: CurerTech vs Methasoft > CurerTech vs Methasoft: matched on methadone dosing and DEA inventory; billing, engagement, and CCBHC on one record, not separate Netsmart products. Source: https://www.curertech.com/compare/curertech-vs-methasoft Last updated: 2026-07-29 --- # CurerTech vs Methasoft: — Methadone Clinic Software Compared Methasoft doses, drives the pumps, tracks DEA inventory, bills third parties, and holds counselor notes — it runs the opioid treatment program. The difference starts past it: CCBHC, AI and the patient portal are each a separate Netsmart product, on a separate contract. CurerTech runs them on the record you already have, live in a typical 7–9 days.

In one sentence: the feature lists are close. What differs is what your nurse, your biller and your clinical director each have to open in order to do their job. **01 · The dosing line** ### It is not the dose Dosing, guest dosing, titration schedules, pumps, DEA inventory, third-party billing, counselor notes. Methasoft covers the opioid treatment program end to end. That is not where these two platforms part company. **02 · The ceiling** ### It ends where the OTP ends CCBHC runs through myEvolv or myAvatar. The patient portal is myHealthPointe. AI is Bells and AlphaCoding. Add a program, and you add a product, a contract and a login **03 · Where the work happens** ### Your clinicians are not all at a desk Counselors, intake staff and home health nurses all need the chart where they are. Methasoft's guide describes a Windows desktop install\*; CurerTech follows the clinician — onto a Mac, or an iPad.

Methasoft user guide: “the Methasoft icon will appear on each user’s Windows desktop”; and “it is very important that Nightly Processes run successfully each evening” — a check window appears when one fails. \* What Methasoft covers. Its Accounting menu includes third-party billing; its Counselor menu includes treatment plans and assessments; its Inventory menu includes automated dispensing pump procedures. Netsmart supports CCBHC, patient engagement and AI across CareFabric — myEvolv, myAvatar, myHealthPointe, Bells AI, AlphaCoding. Those are separate products from Methasoft.

If you recognize your clinic below, the switch is worth it. You are a clinic that does more than dose - You bill CCBHC, or you are heading there. - Your team is on Macs, or wants an iPad in a counseling room or a patient's home. - You run behavioral health, residential detox, home health or senior care alongside your OTP. - You want the patient portal, outreach and AI on the record, not as separate products. - You cannot wait months, and you want the price before the call. One caveat, plainly: if you want your labels, printers and clinic hardware supplied by the same vendor as the software, Netalytics stocks all of it and we are software only. On everything else on this page, we back ourselves. What's inside ## How long does it take to switch from Methasoft to CurerTech? **A typical CurerTech switch takes 7–9 days,** with migration run by our team — versus enterprise implementations that can run for months. **01 · Scope** ### We scope your data and programs Dose histories, take-home schedules, registry state, inventory, and balances are mapped before any cutover work begins. **02 · Migrate** ### We run the data move Migration is handled by our team rather than handed to your staff as a project. **03 · Go live** ### No missed dose, no missed claim Cutover is planned around your clinical schedule and the claims cycle. [Switching and migration](https://www.curertech.com/switching-migration) Comparison questions ## CurerTech vs Methasoft, answered ### What is the difference between CurerTech and Methasoft? Methasoft doses, drives the pumps, tracks DEA inventory, bills third parties, and holds counselor notes and assessments - it runs the opioid treatment program end to end. The difference is reach. Everything past the OTP is a separate Netsmart product: CCBHC through myEvolv or myAvatar, the patient portal through myHealthPointe, AI through Bells and AlphaCoding. CurerTech runs the dose, the chart, the claim and patient outreach on one record, on PC, Mac or iPad. ### Is CurerTech an alternative to Methasoft? Yes. CurerTech is a Methasoft alternative that matches the OTP clinical core - dosing, dispensing-pump integration, DEA inventory, take-homes, and third-party billing - and adds CCBHC billing, native patient engagement, AI charting and coding, and a patient portal on the same record, instead of separate Netsmart products. ### Is Methasoft the same as Netsmart? Methasoft is a Netsmart product. Netsmart acquired Netalytics, the maker of Methasoft and SMART, in October 2023 and folded both into its CareFabric platform. The comparison on this page describes Methasoft itself, not the wider Netsmart portfolio. ### Does Methasoft run on a Mac? Methasoft's published user guide describes a Windows desktop application, and Netsmart also lists a SaaS deployment option — so confirm current platform support with Netsmart directly. CurerTech runs on both PC and Mac, with an iPad app for counseling, patient onboarding and home health visits. ### Does Methasoft include billing? Yes. The Methasoft Accounting menu covers payments, additional charges, balance journal, reconciliation, financial contracts and third-party billing. Billing is not a point of difference between the two platforms. ### Does Methasoft support CCBHC? Not within Methasoft. Netsmart supports the CCBHC model through other products, such as myEvolv and myAvatar, contracted separately. CurerTech bills CCBHC on the same record as the dose. ### Which is better for an opioid treatment program? At the dosing window they are closely matched. Methasoft has one advantage CurerTech does not: Netalytics will supply your labels, printers and clinic hardware as well as the software. CurerTech is the better fit if you want CCBHC, AI and the patient portal on the same record as the dose, if your clinicians work on Macs or iPads, and if you want a published price and go-live. ### How long does it take to switch from Methasoft to CurerTech? A typical CurerTech switch takes 7 to 9 days, with migration run by our team and no migration fee. Netsmart does not publish an implementation timeline for Methasoft.
