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.

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. Suboxone prescribed in some states.

► 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.

Ratings and reviews

Amazing (albeit minimal) incentive each and every day to at least log in and answer a couple questions regarding your use. Whether you're trying to completely stop using, or just decrease your usage, they can and will help. Even if your insurance isn't accepted for full counseling support you can still use their app, for free! Honestly, just having that little bit of accountability really set things in motion for me....

Such a great recovery app. You are rewarded for completing tasks and you learn different and new ways to live, eat, exercise how to deal with anxiety, learn things about addiction. You have counselors, groups, peer support, group chat. You can get into recovery from the comfort of your home on your phone. Only time you have to go anywhere is to your pharmacy to get your medication. It's a very cool app and it's helped keep me clean and sober.

Affect has been a light for me in the shadowy darkness of addiction. There are great tools to use through the app, Affect sets you up with a counselor, a medical doctor, and weekly group meetings to support your recovery. The system pays rather well considering your getting paid to go through recovery. I've been in the program for a month and I don't recall every having so much support and care focused on me. It's truly been an awesome experience.
