## Description

Affect is an innovative addiction recovery app offering a full outpatient treatment program accessible right from your smartphone. Unlike traditional sober trackers, it provides licensed telehealth counseling, medication management, and a gamified reward system to encourage progress in beating addiction to substances like alcohol, cannabis, opioids, and stimulants.

The program is private, convenient, and backed by scientific research and accreditation. It supports people at all stages of recovery — whether they attend 12-step groups, are dealing with relapses, or transitioning from inpatient rehab. Coverage through Medicare, Medicaid, and other insurance plans, with no subscription fees or ads, makes Affect a trusted, effective digital alternative to rehabilitation clinics. Empower your sobriety journey with a personalized app that rewards and supports lasting recovery.
