Affect Therapeutics provides a digital platform for addiction recovery, utilizing a science-based method known as contingency management. This approach combines financial incentives, therapy, and medication to encourage healthy behaviors and support individuals in overcoming their addictions. Clients can access treatment through secure video conferences, allowing for privacy and convenience without the need to visit a physical clinic. In addition to addiction treatment, Affect Therapeutics offers support in areas that affect recovery, such as job searching and financial management, recognizing that sobriety is linked to overall life improvement. The company operates on a subscription or fee-for-service model, making it distinct from traditional rehab centers by offering a fully digital and holistic approach to recovery.
