Up to 40% of people who want to reduce their drinking have thought about suicide. However, currently there are no treatments that create a plan to manage cravings for alcohol and to manage suicide ideation. This study consists of three studies: Study 1 aims to conduct interviews with adults with lifetime alcohol misuse and thoughts of suicide and with providers who have worked with patients with alcohol misuse. The interviews obtain feedback on a newly developed brief (single appointment) treatment for alcohol craving and thoughts of suicide. Study 2 aims to pilot test the single-appointment treatment and 1 week of text messages with adults with recent alcohol misuse and recent thoughts of suicide. Adults will provide feedback in a brief interview. Study 3 aims to test the single-appointment treatment and 4 weeks of text messages with adults with recent alcohol misuse and recent thoughts of suicide. Specifically, different types of text messages will be tested.
