Woebot (W-SUDs), a Conversational Agent (CA) instantaneously available 24 hours per day, 7 days per week, 'checks in' with users. Using conversational tones, it encourages mood tracking and delivers general psychoeducation as well as tailored empathy, cognitive behavior therapy (CBT)-based behavior change tools, and behavioral pattern insight. Woebot's app-based platform and user-centered design philosophy makes it an optimal modality for Substance Use Disorders (SUD) treatment delivery. It offers immediate, evidence-based tailored support in the patient's peak moment of craving.

Group II: Digitally-delivered PsychoeducationExperimental Treatment1 Intervention

Has the FDA given formal authorization to W-SUDs?
