Rewards

Pay attention to your rewards if you’re not saving them. They say you can get 599 but when you get close it starts bouncing around and they give you all kinds of excuses. Honestly it’s uncomfortable having to even ask but getting different answers that don’t make sense makes you feel even more uncomfortable. We are leaving a lifestyle where we lie and people lie to us so reward or not, for me honesty is important. My husband already questions me and I’m supposed to get him to believe that I didn’t just cash out some of it.

Bringing unprofessionalism and toxicity to an app!

A terrible experience. The ‘counseling’ team is recently ex addicts. They pair men and women into support groups with angry men and women with bastard kids together. There is no moderator for the support groups so you can say anything you want. All the links they sent me for a psychiatrist or a real professional are all links anyone can get by calling your local suicide hot line. They said they could help with a job and housing, but it was just links to overburdened companies that can’t help. And I reached out really needing help and I will probably be dead in less than a month.

Communication is bad

Honestly, I love the idea of Affect . The setup is nice but the communication is terrible. I was unable to attend my meetings for 2 weeks due to having an unexpected busy schedule. I tried to inform them and I couldn’t get in touch with anyone. Different people would respond days later. When I would respond, i wouldn’t hear back from them. They took me off the schedule. I called the enrollment number and finally got in touch with someone and she transferred me to the person in charge of handling my schedule. I told her the issue I was having and she agreed that the communication needs improvement. She was able to put me back in the schedule for next week. I got another message from someone else saying I need to get in contact with them since I missed my meetings, which I did! Then they proceed to take me off the schedule, AGAIN, they removed me from the programs and I lost the earnings i had build up.

Great tool to capture sobriety and hold your self accountable!

This is a great tool to use for when you need help with getting medicine and working with a medical care team virtually, it allows you to seek that help just from your phone. Affect also rewards you for taking initiatives for bettering your health and life. Only thing I could say about Affect is it lags keeping track of the days you are clean and when you do your “daily check in” it sometimes doesn’t register to your account and doesn’t seem to update even after you push the check in button . But other than that, very cool method for someone who is in lack of transportation.

Life, saving and your life worth it!

This is the best thing ever I wish so many other people know about it without this community or Affect I wouldn’t be here. I am so happy and proud to be a part of something that’s gonna get big soon, if it has not already !
I appreciate Affect,My community and my peers most of all myself for believing in it!not to mention all the life-saving tools that it offers . And it may not be much to other others, but it feels good to be rewarded to be doing that one thing that you never thought that you couldn’t do! It is worth it! I am worth it! You are worth it! talking about a person who wouldn’t try anything to stop doing that one thing that brought me pleasure! I promise it is worth all and more. I wish I would’ve known about this sooner. I wish Affect was available,because it probably could’ve saved two of my friends who would’ve benefited from Affect. God bless us All!God bless The genius who creating this wonderful app and community. If you need help!
try it out I promise you it’s worth it!
I promise you’re worth it!
I know I’am because!
I’m ALIVE, HAPPY & SOBER!

Life Changing App!

Affect has changed my life! I was told to join a program bc of legal reasons and Effect has been completely amazing. Through the counseling and app activities I’ve been sober for 20 days with no desire to use! If you need help just download Affect and see for yourself!

Best app ever

I’m lost for word right now! Affect is the best. I’m currently an alcoholic. I woke up feeling like I need to change my life I was depressed all the time and I found Affect on google I downloaded it and had my first orientation this morning. I start my groups this Friday. I recommend Affect for anyone suffering from ANY addiction.

So convenient

The fact that I can get clean from anywhere without having to go to a facility is awesome. I have a very busy work and personal life and going somewhere else all the time isn’t really possible.

My counselor is awesome too! The challenges are very helpful and informative and I’m starting to use what I’ve learned in my own life.

Definitely recommend

This is a great program with terrific staff. Any questions or concerns I’ve had have be answered or resolved promptly. The staff genuinely cares and that makes a huge difference. The team works with you and are there to assist with every step in the recovery process. I’d definitely recommend this for anyone trying to free themselves of the cage we put ourselves in during active addiction.

Bobby’s try to be nice

Very nice people can’t ask for anything better but when somebody tries, give you something to keep you sleep and give you grow stronger beenadrill should I give me something what is better than Benadryl? I’ll take Benadryl all the time and she’s trying. Not trying to put anybody down you’re very nice but if she’s going to write something she should’ve wrote something better but very nice people.

Best Online Suboxone Provider !! A++ !!!

this app is the best online Suboxone Provider & Addiction Recovery Program/App ! ~~>

They fully operate using a “harm reduction” model, & offer varying levels of support & accountability - based on your wants/needs.
Affect works well. The MAT (Suboxone) providers they work with are great! [+] They accept AHCCCS (Medicaid) insurance, most commercial insurance, & also have a reasonably priced “cash pay” option available!

Great for people looking to be (actually) free from the stigma & judgment inherent in most recovery programs/providers ! - Fre yourself from the “leash” that many providers keep you on. “Do this, prove that, mandatory attendance(s), etc … “.

Cant say enough good things about this app. Professional, organized, & transparent!

*Simpler & Easier than in-person providers, & much better than their online/virtual competitor(s)!

• Adios: Bicycle Health !!!

• Thank You 🙏🏼 —> “this app” !!

>> Greetings from AZ !! <<

Very amazing app!

This is an amazing recovery app, def my favorite! I absolutely love the people that work on Affect - very nonjudgmental people, very friendly, understanding and very helpful. I love the groups in Affect, I love the challenges also because it allows me to work on my recovery daily, and the best part is that the cash out on Affect actually works. This is the only recovery program I know that pays you to stay sober! You get your cash out by the next business day!

Amazing Experience

For me. this app has made the most impact in my life, (so far) out of 7 intensive outpatient programs. My counselor Rennie was the best, as well as the group I attended. kept me accountable. Pushed me to let everything around me and crash. Showed me it’s going to be ok. I’m not crazy, and defenitly not up for living my life the way I was.
I’m far from perfect but this helped me stay sane when I thought I was seriously thinking I was loosing my mind. Institutional for ever more. I love Affect.
Even though it’s leaving my area😒
Im so glad I got involved

Program keeps me interested, money keeps me engaged!

I’ve been 60+ days in this program, 30+ days clean!~Program offers many avenues for recovery, all offering monetary rewards from .05 cents-$10~
>Dally/weekly “Missions” to complete
>Compilations of “Challenges” (short bits of learning with q&a’s to submit), variety of learning topics you choose from
>Additional (weekly) support through “Peer Services” via 1-on-1 and/or groups (NOT paid)
>Weekly 30min individual therapy (with drug screen) w/counselor
>Twice weekly group therapy w/counselor

I dig it and it’s ran great; lots of reminders for appointments, fast replies when help is needed, access to q&a’s about program, friendly knowledgeable staff. And I’ve earned over $100 in my 2 months, so no time goes wasted in this program and you learn and have your program peers support through private group messaging…
SIGN UP WITH YOUR STATE INSURANCE (or other) and GIVE IT A TRY. CAN’T HURT!

So far so good

I’ve tried other apps before when attempting to quit. But this one by far out performs all the others I’ve tried. This one goes in depth with ways to cope and tips to relieve the pains and struggles of quitting for good!!! I just pray that if I can’t do this on my own I’ll still have the courage to admit myself into a program. I can’t afford to keep losing this battle. My wife and kids need their husband and father back. Cause who I’ve been for the past few years isn’t the real person that they love and know. I’m just fortunate that they haven’t given up on me. So I can’t let them down. I have to do this for all of us!!!

Best Idea Ever

I’ve never wrote a review on here, but that’s how much I love Affect. I want to share it with everyone I know and hope they enjoy it just as much. Everyone at this app is reliable, dependable, understanding, and easy to get ahold of! My counselor, Robyn, has been the best thing to ever happen to me in this difficult process of getting sober. She makes every group meeting, as well as 1:1, a safe place to talk about anything and everything getting you down and in the way of your sobriety. I’ve used different substances the majority of my life now, and this has been the first program to give me the motivation to be a better version of myself!

Loving and amazing help!!

this app has shown me that there’s more to life than feeling trapped with an addiction and feeling pressured on a daily basis to get clean. There are not here to pressure you or make you feel even more trapped than you already have do everything in their power to help you succeed, and lift you up and help you stand on your own and feel empowered! If it weren’t for the universe bringing this app to my attention, I would still be stuck in the state I was in beforehand. I absolutely love this app and everything that they stand for and everything that they do! And I will recommend to anyone struggling with addiction! Thank you, this app. I love you guys so much!! 🥰💕

Helpful

I want to let everyone know how much this place cares about you and dosnt judge you even if you fall. They are even making it so that you can get help with your addiction and mental all at the same place which I'm very excited about and very grateful. And if you think your beyond help trust and believe me when I tell you if I can do it anyone can. When your list and at your lowest you think it's helpless well I've been trying to get sober now for 15 years and finally found a place that has helped me on my journey and found a place that truly wants to help and most of the Counsalor have been where you have been. Thanks this app

Supportive & Motivating

I downloaded Affect at first looking for just a general sober app. I then realized it literally pays you to quit drinking! I made $5.20 the first day, it’s not much $ but this adds up quick if you are persistent.

Affect helped me WANT TO WANT TO GET CLEAN, which I was lacking the true craving for sobriety. Another perk, they accept insurance and my insurance is 100% covered! I’m currently in intensive outpatient therapy, so this is a great step down to outpatient treatment when I graduate the program.

The representatives are very supportive and helpful. They truly can empathize with you which is great. The admissions rep also said it can last forever! (there’s no time limitation to your insurance coverage with Affect)

Evidenced based treatment from people who care

This is not just an app, it’s a treatment program with a team of counselors that help guid you to recovery. It’s so much easier to engage in recovery because Affect helps break down the intimidating path to recovery into achievable steps. Affect , when coupled with this app’s great counselors, make this a life saver.
