NIDA-CTN-0009
Smoking Cessation Treatment With Transdermal Nicotine
Replacement Therapy In Substance Abuse Rehabilitation Programs
The prevalence of cigarette smoking among substance abusers is high,
and substance abusers who smoke have more health problems, higher
death rates, and more severe drug and alcohol addiction than those
who don’t. In the past decade, studies have demonstrated that
smoking cessation programs and smoke-free policies can be successful
in drug and alcohol rehabilitation clinics. Patients stay in treatment
longer, they stop smoking for a time, and they do not use more drugs
or alcohol than other patients. This study looks at how feasible it
is to incorporate a state-of-the-art smoking cessation treatment program
into community substance abuse treatment programs and its impact on
substance abuse and cigarette smoking.
