Affect’s revolutionary recovery program ranks in the top 1% of all addiction treatment providers with better results than rehab clinics. Using proven neuroscientific approaches to successful behavior change, 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, and delivered entirely through your smartphone. Explore the Affect app entirely for free – no ads, no 7-day trials.

There’s nothing stopping you from making progress in your recovery, starting today.
The treatment program is covered by many health insurances. Check your insurance coverage privately and risk-free through the app and learn of any expected out of pocket expenses. Your employer will not be notified of your interest or enrollment in our program, even if you have insurance through your employer. For the full list of insurance plans we accept, check our website.
Affect offers a truly supportive environment for you to make lasting change in your life. Sobriety is not a requirement to enroll. Affect helps people who struggle with relapses to reduce their use. 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 and prevent relapses. Many people use the app and 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. The app is a lifelong companion for people to maintain their sobriety.
There are sober apps where you go it alone. There are rehab clinics where you go away. There is nothing else like Affect - the sobriety app that offers a full, integrated outpatient treatment program and brings it right to you.

I have been in and out of treatment off n on most my adult life but this program sounded like exactly what I needed. It not just gave me a chance and hope to find the exact kind of recovery help that I knew would work for me but it also paid me! The scheduling is sorta set but willing to work with someone if you’re being honest. I knew how all the programs work n the steps and tada yada and clearly they don’t work cuz time and time again here i am. This app which is strange to say actually asked me how they could help me like!? I said I know what does not work and Im still struggling can you help? Bam! Like a gift from some universal higher power that heard ME, not heard the rumors or only heard what was applicable they heard me and even more so when my past information decided through my assessment said ine thing my counselor reasoned with me and gave me a chance and I have done nothing but improved. Im sober. Im me again and I still have work to do but they ate here for me and everyday mo matter how alone or not alone hou are they still ask me how was your day. If anyone is doubtful please i beg you give it a chance. It really is different from anything u have ever experienced before.
This is going to be huge once it catches on

This is a fresh new treatment where your in the driver seat of your recovery! Affect is there to give you all the tools, support, and help you need to achieve sobriety goals as well as understanding the root cause of addiction and how to manage symptoms as well as alternative ways to cope with them. Finding solutions that really work when triggered. I been in the program going into my third month and have had great experiences and met some wonderful ladies along the way. The app does crash from time to time but it’s understandable when you have a fully servicing app that schedules meetings, dr appointments, group, as well as provide an archive of information on various related topics! Offers incentive for just being present in your own treatment with little educational challenges! I don’t have a band thing I could say about the program at least not at this point!

I’m amazed at how much this program has helped me! I’ve been clean now over a month and I NEVER thought this would be possible! I’ve encountered amazing providers, great group sessions, great 1:1 meetings and wonderful customer service (with the exception of one person). This company sure seems to want to see us succeed and I feel supported through this. This has been a scary time for me and Affect has been a true partner, they have a very intense program that I’m in which includes judgement-free urine screens from home (but I’ve succeeded here as well) to make sure I’m taking my meds. I just love the program so much, and while I don’t intend on staying on this medication I’m now on for very long, I do plan to stay with the program indefinitely. What a wonderful example of using phones and technology for true goodness. Thank you Affect 😌💕

I have anxiety and it’s difficult for me to go to appointments in-person. This app single-handedly saved me when I was in an extremely dark place. I was lost to my addiction with opiates. I had lost my way, myself, and was about to lose those who cared about me as well. I was out of control. I wanted nothing more than to make my pain go away. It was a nasty cycle. I wasn’t in control of myself.I was looking into rehab, but I didn’t want my phone to be taken away. I needed it to stay in contact with my family, and to use as a distraction from the pain and fear that were eating away at me. So I tried to find out-patient services I could do from home, where I could enroll into the MAT program and be prescribed Suboxone for the first time. Then I discovered this app.‘An app?’ I said to myself. ‘There’s no way that I can get all this help just through an app. Right?’ Wrong!Everything I needed, this app provided. Counseling, medication, missions to complete, sobriety tracking, and guess what else? THEY PAY YOU! To get clean, to go to your appointments, to take your UDS checks. Of course, you can only use the money on very limited things (to be safe), but I have just officially earned $100 total. I have been very consistent and am nearing my 1yr sober in a few months, so it does take almost a year of consistency to earn that much, but it is possible. That’s nothing compared to the worth of not being in that dark place anymore. I also have to give a shout out to my favorite counselor, Sierra B. You helped encourage me during my dark moments. You watched as I got healthier and my complexion returned to normal. We laughed together, you didn’t judge me, you helped me see the good in myself again. I can never thank you enough. I will miss our sessions, and I wish you all the best on your new endeavors. 🌸
