Affect Therapeutics offers a digital platform for addiction recovery that combines financial incentives, therapy, and medication through a method called "contingency management." This approach rewards positive behaviors to help individuals form healthier habits and is conducted via secure video conferences, ensuring convenience and privacy. The company also addresses other life challenges that can impact recovery, such as job searching and financial management, making their support holistic. Unlike many competitors, Affect Therapeutics focuses on comprehensive care that aims to improve both sobriety and overall life quality.
