Affect: Addiction Recovery

What Affect: Addiction Recovery does

Affect: Addiction Recovery is a medical app for people working through substance use and looking for structured support beyond a simple sobriety counter. It combines recovery tasks and progress tracking with access to addiction-focused care, including telehealth counselling and medication-assisted treatment where available.

What sets it apart

• Professional support: The app is designed around clinical recovery rather than reminders or motivational quotes alone. It connects users with licensed addiction specialists through individual and group sessions.
• Support for cravings: Medication-assisted treatment is part of the service, although the medicines and prescribing options available can depend on location and clinical assessment.
• Practical recovery help: Alongside treatment, the app can help users work on daily goals and find support related to areas such as healthcare, housing and employment.
• Progress-based rewards: Its recovery program uses contingency management, linking completed goals and progress with tangible incentives rather than relying only on self-reported streaks.

Who it suits

This is a better fit for someone seeking a guided outpatient recovery program on a phone, especially if regular clinic visits are difficult or a standalone tracker feels too limited. It is not simply a diary for recording sober days: the emphasis is on treatment, counselling and ongoing support. People looking for immediate crisis care or residential treatment should treat it as one part of a wider care plan.
