What My Addiction Subscription is and who runs it
My Addiction Subscription is a digital recovery platform operated by My Addiction, Inc., a private company based in the United States. The service delivers daily recovery content, peer support tools, and structured programs through a mobile app and web portal. It is not a government program, insurance benefit, or medical treatment — it is a paid subscription service you purchase directly.
The platform markets itself to people in early recovery or those exploring sobriety. Content includes daily check-ins, video lessons, community forums, and access to recovery coaches. My Addiction, Inc. does not provide medical care, prescribe medication, or replace treatment from a doctor or licensed therapist.
Key Takeaways
- My Addiction Subscription is a private paid service, not insurance or government-funded, and costs vary by plan tier and billing cycle.
- The platform offers daily recovery content, peer forums, and coach access through an app, but does not replace medical treatment or therapy.
- Monthly plans typically cost more per month than annual plans when you divide the total cost, so longer commitments save money.
- You can cancel your subscription at any time, though refund policies depend on your plan and when you cancel relative to your billing date.
- My Addiction Subscription is separate from insurance coverage and does not bill your health plan, so costs come directly from your pocket.
Subscription pricing and plan options
My Addiction Subscription offers tiered plans at different price points. The exact cost depends on which plan you choose and whether you pay monthly or annually. Monthly plans typically range from roughly $15 to $40 per month depending on the tier, while annual plans usually offer a lower per-month cost when divided across twelve months.
The company periodically adjusts pricing and may offer promotional rates for new members. Pricing also varies by region and may change based on features added or removed from each tier. To see current pricing for your location, you would need to visit the My Addiction website or open the app, as rates are not published in a fixed public list.
Each plan tier unlocks different features. Lower tiers might include daily content and basic community access, while higher tiers add one-on-one coach sessions, video calls with recovery specialists, or priority support. The company's website describes what each tier includes, so you can compare what you get at each price point before you subscribe.
What content and features are included
My Addiction Subscription delivers recovery-focused content daily through the app. This includes guided meditations, video lessons about recovery topics, worksheets for reflection, and structured programs that run over several weeks. The peer community lets you post in forums, read others' stories, and participate in group discussions — though moderation policies determine what can be posted.
Depending on your plan tier, you may have access to recovery coaches — people trained in peer support who respond to messages or join video calls. These are not licensed therapists or doctors, but people with lived recovery experience who offer encouragement and accountability. Response times and availability vary by plan.
The app also tracks your progress through features like sobriety counters, mood logging, and milestone celebrations. These tools are meant to help you monitor your own recovery journey, not to diagnose or treat any condition.
How billing works and what happens if you cancel
My Addiction Subscription bills you on a recurring schedule — either monthly or annually, depending on which plan you chose. The charge appears on your credit card or payment method on the same date each cycle. If your payment fails, the company typically sends a notice and may suspend your access until payment goes through.
You can cancel your subscription at any time through the app or website settings. Cancellation takes effect at the end of your current billing cycle, meaning if you cancel mid-month on a monthly plan, you keep access until that month ends. If you cancel mid-year on an annual plan, you typically lose access at the end of that year — most annual plans do not offer prorated refunds for early cancellation.
My Addiction's refund policy depends on your plan and how long you have been subscribed. Some plans offer a short window (often 7 to 14 days) to request a refund if you change your mind. After that window closes, cancellation stops future charges but does not return money already paid. Read the terms of service for your specific plan to understand the refund window and any conditions.
How My Addiction Subscription differs from insurance and medical treatment
My Addiction Subscription is a consumer product you pay for directly — it does not integrate with health insurance and does not bill your insurance plan. If you have addiction treatment coverage through your health plan, that coverage pays for medical care, therapy, or medication-assisted treatment from licensed providers. My Addiction Subscription is separate and comes out of your own pocket.
The platform is not a substitute for medical treatment. If you are struggling with substance use, a doctor or addiction medicine specialist can diagnose your condition, prescribe medication if needed, and refer you to evidence-based treatment. My Addiction Subscription can complement that care by offering daily support and community between appointments, but it cannot replace it.
If you are in crisis or having thoughts of self-harm, the app may have crisis resources listed, but you should contact emergency services (911 in the US), the 988 Suicide and Crisis Lifeline, or go to an emergency room. My Addiction Subscription is not equipped to respond to emergencies.
Data privacy and what information the company collects
When you create an account, My Addiction collects your email, payment information, and any personal details you enter in your profile or recovery logs. The app also tracks which features you use, how often you log in, and what content you view. This data helps the company improve the app and personalize your experience.
My Addiction's privacy policy explains how the company stores, uses, and shares this information. The policy should be available on the website or in the app settings. If you have concerns about how your data is handled, you can review the full policy before you subscribe, and you can request deletion of your account and data after you cancel.
The peer community forums are not fully private — other subscribers can see posts you make unless you use private messaging. Be cautious about sharing identifying details in public forums, as other members can read and potentially screenshot your posts.
Comparing My Addiction Subscription to other recovery apps and services
Several other apps and services offer similar recovery support. Some are free with optional paid features, while others charge a subscription like My Addiction does. Examples include Nomo (tracks sobriety and offers community), Tempest (focuses on alcohol recovery with coaching), and I Am Sober (straightforward tracking with a free version). Many people use more than one app or combine an app with in-person support like 12-step meetings or therapy.
Insurance-covered treatment programs, outpatient counseling, and support groups like Alcoholics Anonymous or Narcotics Anonymous are free or low-cost alternatives. These offer human connection and professional guidance that an app cannot fully replace. Some people find the best results by combining a subscription app with professional treatment and peer support groups.
If cost is a barrier, ask your doctor about treatment options covered by insurance, or search for free recovery resources in your area through SAMHSA's National Helpline (1-800-662-4357), which is free and confidential.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I try My Addiction Subscription for free before I pay?
My Addiction sometimes offers a free trial period for new members, though the length and terms vary. Check the app or website to see if a trial is currently available in your region. If a trial is offered, you will need to enter payment information to start it, and the company will charge you when the trial ends unless you cancel before that date.
What happens to my data if I cancel my subscription?
When you cancel, your access to the app ends, but the company may retain your account data for a period of time. You can request permanent deletion of your account and associated information through the app settings or by contacting customer support. Review the privacy policy to understand how long the company keeps data after cancellation.
Does My Addiction Subscription work with my insurance?
No. My Addiction Subscription is a separate paid service that does not bill insurance. If your insurance covers addiction treatment or counseling, that is a different benefit you would use with a licensed provider. You can use both — the insurance-covered treatment and the subscription app — but they do not connect to each other.
Can I use My Addiction Subscription instead of going to treatment?
My Addiction Subscription is a support tool, not a replacement for medical treatment. If you are struggling with substance use, talk to a doctor or addiction specialist who can assess your situation and recommend the right level of care. An app can help you stay connected to recovery between appointments, but it cannot diagnose, treat, or prescribe medication.
How do I cancel if I can't find the cancel button in the app?
Cancellation options are usually in account settings or subscription settings within the app. If you cannot find it, contact My Addiction's customer support through the app or website — they can walk you through cancellation or cancel on your behalf. Keep a record of when you requested cancellation in case there is a billing dispute later.
