Supportive Text Messages to Reduce Mood Symptoms and Problem Drinking- Randomised Controlled Pilot Trials

Patients in all the intervention groups will receive twice daily supportive SMS text messages for 3 months. The messages will be tailored towards improving mood, compliance with medication or targeting abstinence from alcohol in accordance with the primary aims of our study. As far as possible, the majority of the text messages will reflect lessons patients usually learn during CBT and addiction counselling sessions.
