Online Alcohol and Drug Program

The Wagon is for anyone who wants to better understand their relationship with alcohol or other drugs, whether they’re thinking about change, actively reducing use, or looking to prevent relapse. It’s designed for adults seeking structured, evidence-informed support in a non-judgemental format. It is not suitable for people in acute crisis or those needing clinical treatment. The Program provides online psychoeducation and self-help learning content relating to behaviour change, relapse prevention, triggers, cravings, coping skills, and wellbeing. The Program: · is not a substitute for medical care, diagnosis, or treatment, · is not a substitute for individual psychological therapy, · does not establish a psychologist–client relationship by itself, · does not provide personalised clinical advice, · is not monitored in real time and is not a crisis service, and · is not suitable as a sole support for people experiencing severe dependence, acute withdrawal risk, or urgent safety concerns.

No. The Wagon is a psychoeducational wellbeing program, not a therapeutic service. If you are experiencing significant mental health issues, trauma, or distress, we recommend seeing a registered mental health professional.

Your participation is handled in line with our Privacy Statement and Terms. We do not share your personal information with third parties for marketing, and we only provide documentation to a third party with your written consent, except where disclosure is required or authorised by law (e.g., a lawful court order).

The Wagon is self-paced. All content is ready to be worked through when you are ready.

The Clinical Recommendation (6 Weeks): For those seeking long-term change, we recommend completing 1-2 modules per week. This allows time to practice the strategies (like Urge Surfing) in real-world situations, The Intensive Path (7-10 Days): For clients with urgent requirements (such as upcoming court dates), the program can be completed as a high-intensity intensive. This requires approximately 12 hours of dedicated engagement with the video content and reflective workbooks.

Yes. When you complete The Wagon you’ll receive a certificate of completion. View this page if you’re looking for documentation specifically for a court-related matter. (https://www.thewagon.com.au/aod-program-for-court)
