The Wagon: A Comprehensive, Psychologist-Led Online Alcohol and Drug Program
Evidence-informed designed for privacy, flexibility, and long-term change
An Overview of The Wagon
In this 5-minute briefing, I outline the evidence-based models that ground The Wagon and walk you through how each of the 10 modules translates clinical theory into practical, daily self-management.
Here are all of the topics covered in The Wagon
The Evidence-Based Framwork
The Wagon is built around the Marlatt & Gordon Relapse Prevention Model, one of the most widely researched and respected approaches to behavioural change. This framework moves beyond simple willpower, focusing on four key pillars:
-
Understanding Patterns: Gaining a deeper insight into your specific substance use behaviours.
-
Risk Management: Learning to identify and navigate high-risk situations before they lead to a setback.
-
Effective Coping: Developing a toolkit of practical, healthy strategies to manage cravings and stress.
-
Building Confidence: Increasing your self-efficacy to maintain long-term change and reduce the probability of relapse.
