Local software company zeroes in on medication-assisted treatment

In founding Atadas, software veteran Bill Farr was inspired by his brother’s work as a physician who specializes in addiction treatment. Physicians prescribing medications like buprenorphine or suboxone to curb withdrawal symptoms and cravings for patients with opioid use disorder need to track dosing and stay within varying state guidelines. Through a patient app and provider database, Atadas also seeks to keep patients engaged in their treatment. 

Named after a Hungarian term meaning “lean on me,” Atadas started in Salt Lake City in 2020, and Farr moved his family and the business to Nashville in 2021. The company is part of Nashville Entrepreneur Center’s Project Healthcare 2023 cohort.
