The problem

Staying current on 245G means tracking everything, from agencies that don’t talk to each other.

25+

Emails from DHS, SAMHSA, CMS, DEA and CARF, arriving without context or a next step.

12+

Websites to monitor, updated on their schedule, not yours.

0

Hours of dedicated compliance staff at most small programs. The clinical director does it, between sessions.

The regulations changed. You found out at the audit.

How it works

What if the entire gap between “something changed” and “we handled it” was one workflow?

01
Watch

Updates arrive from six sources, filtered to your jurisdiction and level of care, in plain language with the citation kept.

02
Choose

You pick which updates to compare and which sections of your manual to check. Nothing runs on its own.

03
Compare

See every place the rule touches your manual, next to a redline of what changed in the rule.

04
Approve

Edit the AI draft or write your own. Approve, and it saves as a new version with the reason and citation.

Compare

One rule change rarely lives in one place.

A citation shows up in your assessment policy, your treatment planning policy and your intake checklist. SUDSync finds each one, shows the exact sentence, and lets you add any place it missed.

Manual uploaded
Your manual

Your whole manual, searchable and versioned.

Upload your policy manual as PDF or Word. Search every section, open the full document, and edit any section from a side panel. Every save records who, when, why and which citation prompted it. Export to Word any time.

Also included

Context around the changes.

Statute watch

The Minnesota statutes behind 245G are checked weekly. When the text changes, you see the before and after.

Ask Trace

Ask about a rule in plain language. Trace shows what the section says, with the source, and where your manual covers it. You decide what to do with it.

What does 245G.05 say about the comprehensive assessment?
It sets what the assessment covers and when it is due 245G.05, subd. 1. Your manual covers this in §3.2. Next step: compare §3.2 to the current text.
Where are treatment plan reviews covered?
In the individual treatment plan section 245G.06. Next step: check that §4.1 names who is responsible for reviews.
Your team, one workspace

Invite supervisors and staff. Follow-ups, comparisons and edits are logged by person.

Who it’s for

Built for the people doing the work.

Clinical directors

Know what changed and where it lands in your policies, without reading the Federal Register.

Supervisors

Brief your team on rule changes with the citation and the operational meaning.

Counselors

Look up what a rule actually says, in plain language, between sessions.

Program owners

A versioned manual with a record of every change and why it was made.

Why SUDSync exists

14 years of digging through old PowerPoints, e-Memos, DHS bulletins, statutes, and guidance. Getting ten different answers to the same question. Then being asked which one is right.

The rule didn’t change ten times. We just lost the source.
