Affect: Addiction Recovery

Affect Therapeutics

About this app

Affect is more than a sobriety app or sober tracker. It is the first integrated addiction recovery app to provide a full outpatient treatment program with rewards as you make progress. You don't have to go to rehab to stop drinking and using drugs. Affect puts a recovery program right in your pocket.

Affect’s revolutionary program ranks in the top 1% of all addiction treatment providers with better results than rehab clinics. Through our scientifically-proven approach, you can learn to manage, reduce, and quit alcohol, cannabis, stimulants like meth and cocaine, opioids like heroin, or pain killers and other prescription medications. Affect gives you the support you need to get sober, improve your mental health, and build healthy habits.

The program is private, confidential, convenient, highly effective, delivered entirely through your smartphone, and covered by insurance. The addiction recovery app is free to use without enrolling in the treatment program.

Many people enroll in Affect's program to get professional support while attending 12-step programs like Alcoholics Anonymous (AA) or Narcotics Anonymous (NA) or SMART Recovery.

Sobriety is not a requirement. Affect helps people who struggle with relapses. Counselors work with people on their deeper issues where recovery coaches and peer communities fall short. Affect's program is also used by people who leave detox or inpatient residential rehab clinics to continue their recovery journeys.

There are sober apps where you go it alone. There are rehab clinics where you go away. There is nothing else like Affect.

► Rewards for successful participation in treatment, including for staying sober.

► Group and individual telehealth counseling with licensed counselors who are specialists in addiction and mental health.

► Medications to help you manage cravings, depression, and anxiety. Help with detox and withdrawal management.

► Support and resources to improve your life, including help finding healthcare, employment, and housing.

► Gamification tracks sobriety, helps manage your schedule, and speeds progress with tools like a sober counter and tasks that build healthy habits.

► Caring and private community offers support and understanding at all times.

Affect works better. Our rewards system is based on decades of research on successful behavior change and technology. People decrease use by 50% in the first month. Affect's program results in outcomes that are twice as effective as traditional clinical models. Recovery isn’t painful.

We accept many insurance plans including Medicare and Medicaid, which fully covers treatment for qualified members. Please see our website for the full list of plans we accept. There are no subscription fees or ads. Your private information is kept secure and is not shared with any third parties or online trackers.

When you are ready to reduce or stop drinking or using drugs, enrolling in Affect's revolutionary digital addiction treatment program gives you the expert help you need to truly succeed without having to go to a rehab clinic.

We beat the deadly game of addiction by changing the rules. Reward your recovery with Affect.

Ratings and reviews

The program is fantastic! There are some tech issues that haven't been resolved for about a week now and I would like to be able to rotate the screen to be able to type horizontally. Other than these issues I have, the program itself is fantastic and I would highly recommend it in spite of the tech issues. (And yes I have updated it to the latest update)

So far the people that I have come into contact thru Affect are great but the app its self needs some work. There is one document that it will just not let me sign..I've tried a million times to hit the submit button after finishing what is supposed to be required..super frustrating. And The app is sort of slow overall...feels pretty buggy.

Was so looking forward to creating an account on this app. But the app has other ideas. It's not letting me create an account or log into an existing one it won't even tell me if I have one. The app says text us if you're having an issue and I text them three times with no reply. Unfortunately I'm just going to have to uninstall this app.
