A digital recovery app is a game changer for addiction treatment

There are many media stories about how games, social media and smartphone apps are engineered to be addictive. But what if a smartphone app could use those powerful engagement techniques to hook someone on building new healthy habits, and a program could work so well that it could actually treat addictions to alcohol, where traditional treatment falls short and is hard to get?

That’s exactly what we’ve done at Affect. Harnessing the power of behavioral science, we’ve built an integrated digital treatment program that finally works for the most difficult substance use disorders.

Hooked on Healthy Habits

Phones, apps, and games are considered “addictive” by some because they trigger the part of our brains neuroscientists call “the rewards center.” These experiences engage us and we keep coming back to them.

Research has shown that a form of treatment called Contingency Management that uses incentives and rewards to make positive changes works best, by creating those same engaging experiences. Our program has more than double the success rate of traditional rehab clinical treatment. We beat addiction because we changed the rules.

We stay with you as you learn new healthy habits to replace your drinking habit. Many traditional programs discharge people for relapses. We’re different. Once you’re with us, we’re always with you.

There are sobriety apps where you go it alone, pay subscriptions to get peer recovery, or random connections to therapists. Affect is a fully licensed and accredited treatment provider with counselors who specialize in substance use disorder treatment. Insurance covers costs of the program. It’s completely confidential and your privacy is protected by law.

You get all the care and professional expertise of a clinical rehab program with all the advantages of an app.

You understood me and made sure I was safe in the midst of all my experiences.

I love my coach. He’s a licensed professional, not just another former addict.
