Discreet digital addiction treatment
A smartphone app for alcohol and drug addiction treatment puts an integrated digital drug rehab program in your pocket
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 substances like alcohol, methamphetamine, and cocaine, where traditional treatment falls short?
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 hardest alcohol and drug addictions. It’s never been easier to get real care wherever you are. Affect’s robust program is a great companion for people working to get and stay sober in recovery groups like Alcoholics Anonymous and Narcotics Anonymous.
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.

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.
This program is actually useful. My DUI program takes an hour just to do roll call.
This program changed my life. I now have goals. Before I had nothing.
