Clinical Foundation

Four frameworks. One coherent approach.

Each clinical model is integrated where it's most effective — across specific chapters, scenes, and mini-games.

CBT

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy

The thought-action loop runs through every chapter. Patients learn to catch the thought between situation and feeling — before it makes the decision for them.

Chapters 1–12 · Thought Reframe Matcher mini-game (Chapter 9)
CRA

Community Reinforcement Approach

Recovery is stronger when life is genuinely rewarding. ClearStep maps five life domains — relationships, work & purpose, social & fun, health, personal growth — as active recovery resources.

Chapter 11 · CRA Reward Builder mini-game
ACT

Acceptance & Commitment Therapy

Cravings are waves — observable, survivable, and time-limited. Urge surfing is taught through pressure-free practice. No fail states. No score. Just the skill.

Chapters 1, 3, 7 · Craving Crusher and Breathing Timer mini-games
Stages of Change

Motivational Framework

Not every patient is ready to commit. The Early Stage Path supports patients in pre-contemplation and contemplation — with harm reduction framing and no pressure to advance.

Early Stage Path · 120 questions across 6 thematic blocks
Inside the App

Designed for the reality of recovery.

Every feature reflects a clinical decision — not a UX trend.

🧑‍🦱

Personalised avatar

Patients choose and customise their own avatar. The app feels personal from the first login — reducing the clinical distance that causes disengagement.

💭

Emotional check-in

"How are you feeling right now?" — Stressed, Okay, or Quick Reset. The home screen meets patients where they are before asking anything of them.

Quick Reset

Instant access to the Craving Crusher and Breathing Timer — no navigation required. Built for the moments when time matters most.

🗺️

Journey Map

A visual record of progress across all chapters. Patients can see how far they've come — which matters most on the days it feels like nowhere.

🏅

Badges

Recognition for engagement milestones — not performance. Badges mark showing up, not getting it right.

🏥

Clinic code integration

Programs assign a clinic code for onboarding. Patients connect to your program from their first session — enabling program-level continuity of care.
