Timeline
Interventions
Woebot (W-SUDs) is an automated conversational agent, available through a smartphone application, that delivers evidence-based psychotherapeutics, empathy, and emotional health psychoeducation.
A form of psychoeducation for those seeking treatment for their alcohol and/or substance use concern. Psychoeducation is commonly provided for those with substance use. Psychoeducation in substance use is intended to increase the users' knowledge of their substances of use, and effects on the body, behaviors, and consequences. The recipient of psychoeducation is expected to increase their own awareness of their substance use and ideally incorporate this newfound knowledge when making changes to their substance use.
