SafePhone helps recovery centers, healthcare providers, and supervised residential programs provide managed devices to participants who need stronger digital boundaries within inpatient recovery programs.
Designed for supervised recovery environments, participant consent, and transparent device lifecycle management.
The Problem
Participants need communication and approved tools. Programs already structure housing, schedules, and peer contact, but the phone a participant carries is often the one access point left entirely unmanaged. SafePhone helps programs manage that access on the devices they issue so the phone supports the program goals instead of working against them.

How It Works
Enroll organization-owned Android devices through supported enterprise enrollment paths.
Organizations can enroll their own Android devices through supported Android Enterprise workflows, including zero-touch enrollment for larger deployments, QR-code provisioning for pilots or smaller batches, and Samsung Knox Mobile Enrollment where appropriate for Samsung device fleets.
Devices are prepared before they reach the participant, so the managed device is active from first use.
Define approved apps, browser access, communication tools, and device-level restrictions.
Programs can define what each participant can access based on the organization's program requirements and device policies.
That may include approved communication tools, organization-approved apps, utility apps, restricted or blocked browsers, blocked sideloading, and category-level restrictions for adult content, gambling, trading, social media, entertainment, and videos.
Monitor fleet status, support participants, and adjust access as appropriate.
SafePhone helps organizations manage their recovery phone fleet during active program use.
Programs can review device status, support participants, adjust approved access where appropriate, and maintain a structured phone environment for each participant based on individual and group needs.
Wipe, reset, and reassign returned devices for the next participant.
When participation ends, the device returns to the organization.
The phone can then be wiped, reconfigured, and reassigned to another participant.
Participants receive clear disclosure before issuance. Device management is transparent, not hidden.
Who We Serve
Managed devices for participants in active programs or transitional phases of recovery.
Stronger restrictions for residential or high-support environments where consistent digital boundaries matter most.
Organization-issued devices for providers running programs with managed access requirements, including rehabilitation, behavioral health, and supervised care settings.
Consistent phone policies across a house or network of residences, managed from one dashboard.
For Organizations
Your staff can focus on recovery support while SafePhone handles the device-management infrastructure behind the program.
Manage everything from one dashboard
Configure policies, enroll devices, assign participant profiles, and manage your phone program from a secure dashboard. Each organization has its own isolated environment; admins only see and manage their own device pool, policies, and participants.
Create participant profiles for different program needs.
No open browser, only approved communication, utility, and program tools.
Approved apps, program tools, limited browser access, and restrictions on adult content, gambling, trading, social media, and other high-risk categories.
Build a profile around the participant needs and program stage with flexible combinations of approved apps, browser access, schedules, and category-level restrictions.
Transparent program governance
The organization defines the program rules, participant disclosures, and applicable compliance requirements. SafePhone can provide disclosure templates, but organizations should complete their own legal review before deployment in regulated contexts.
SafePhone helps programs issue managed phones with approved access, clear boundaries, and transparent device management.
Device Management
SafePhone manages Android devices using Android Enterprise and Samsung Knox for Samsung device fleets. These are the same platforms used by enterprise IT departments to manage corporate devices. Policies are applied at the OS level and enforced from first use.
Your organization acquires devices through authorized retailers or enterprise procurement channels. SafePhone offers guidance on compatible device selection.
Devices are provisioned via QR code, zero-touch, or Knox Mobile Enrollment. Policy is active from first boot, with no participant setup required.
Participant profiles, access boundaries, and category restrictions applied through the admin dashboard can be updated remotely at any time.
The device is issued with a managed-device disclosure before handoff. The participant is informed of what the organization can and cannot see.
Policy updates, app management, device compliance monitoring, and remote lock/wipe remain available to admins throughout the program.
The device is returned, fully wiped, and reassigned to the next participant. Participant data is removed at wipe.
This is not a BYOD product. SafePhone is designed for organization-owned, fully managed devices, not personal phones. Organizations own or procure their own device fleet; SafePhone provides the software, enrollment infrastructure, and ongoing management support.
References to Knox and Android Enterprise describe technology from Samsung and Google respectively. SafePhone is not endorsed by or affiliated with either vendor unless expressly stated.
Privacy & Disclosure
SafePhone is built for disclosed, organization-owned device use in supervised programs.
Disclosure & Regulatory
Before a device is issued, each organization is responsible for providing a plain-language disclosure for its own legal and regulatory compliance. The disclosure should explain what the organization can manage, what is visible, and who to contact. Participants must agree to the managed-device terms and conditions before being issued a device.
Get Started
Whether you operate a recovery program or are looking for a managed phone option while in a program, here's how to begin.
For organizations
SafePhone helps recovery centers and supervised programs test organization-owned and managed phones with a small participant group before broader deployment.
A pilot can include device enrollment, policy configuration, participant profiles, and support from our team during the pilot period.

For participants and families
SafePhone is issued through organizations that run recovery programs. If you're currently in a program, supporting someone who is, or preparing to enter one, ask the program director or support staff whether SafePhone could be part of the program phone policy.
