Affect’s program has the highest accreditation in the field.


CARF-Accredited. Member-Approved.
Affect is licensed and certified as a mental health and addiction treatment provider in every state it serves, and our staff of specialized therapists, counselors and medical providers are all licensed themselves. As a medical and behavioral health provider, we accept health insurance plans and Medicaid to cover treatment costs. There are no hidden fees or charges. We also are governed and regulated by laws like HIPAA, which completely protect your privacy and confidentiality from your employer, law enforcement, and companies that track your data online.
In addition to our licenses, Affect is recognized by the highest independent accreditors and government agencies in the field of addiction treatment, rehabilitation, and mental health. It’s critically important that you can trust the partner you choose to help you change your relationship to alcohol and drugs, improve your mental health, and build a new and better life.
CARF Accreditation
Affect holds the highest level of accreditation by CARF International, certifying the program’s quality and results.

CARF accreditation is the official industry designation that recognizes service standards and best practices.

NIDA and NIH
Affect’s research from 2021 to 2022 for demonstration of a digital care program for methamphetamine use disorder was funded by an awarded grant (1R43DA055394-01) from the National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA), part of the National Institutes of Health (NIH) and the federal government’s lead agency for scientific research on drug use and addiction. Our studies on the pioneering use of Contingency Management in an all-digital program continue to advance the field with scientifically gathered evidence and proof. There are many apps that claim to use neuroscience and behavioral science to help people with addictions. Our team of researchers work with leading experts on the cutting edge of the science of addiction.
