A Better Solution for The Criminal Justice System
Working Together to Solve Addiction Treatment Challenges
Affect Therapeutics works with partners across the criminal justice system to provide a solution that works better. We work with courts and lawyers, case managers, parole and probation officers and more to address their challenges and lighten load that drug and alcohol-related arrests create.
