5. Study Description

Brief Summary
The main goal is to study the effects of internet-delivered cognitive behavioural therapy with minimum guidance for comorbid sleep problems in alcohol use disorder, in routine addiction care.
Detailed Description
Alcohol use disorder (AUD) is highly prevalent and a major contributor to the global burden of disease. Insomnia symptoms are very common among individuals with AUD, including those in recovery, which may in turn promote alcohol relapse. Specialization and silo phenomena in healthcare organization, separating addiction from other types of psychiatric care, means that individuals with AUD and comorbid sleep problems often have difficulty accessing evidence-treatment for the latter. Offering online treatment for sleep problems to individuals enrolled in traditional routine addiction care is an attractive and pragmatic approach to offering parallel treatments covering the full clinical presentation, which has not yet been evaluated. This pilot and feasibility trial will recruit n=25 from patients in routine addiction care with comorbid sleep problems and AUD, who will complete an online, ten-module, CBT-based treatment program with minimum guidance for sleep problems, tailored for individuals with AUD.
