rehabilitation at the Ottawa Heart Institute and founder of the Ottawa Model for Smoking Cessation, the author argues that what is needed is a fundamental change in the medical community’s approach to smoking; if smokers are currently offered help, it is usually in vague terms, and using inadequate tools.

Smoking and Addiction Recovery II: For Addiction Professionals
Source: www.williamwhitepapers.com
Author: William L. White
Synopsis: In part 2 of a two part paper series, the author summarizes what the research of recent decades has concluded about nicotine addiction within the context of specialty-sector addiction treatment in the United States.
“For decades, people in recovery from addictions to other drugs have had their lives cut short by tobacco-related
diseases. These dear friends, patients, and colleagues died from nicotine addiction, but it could also be said they died from blindness—the failure to see nicotine as an addictive drug and the failure to see smoking cessation within the rubric of addiction recovery. For years, such casualties could be written off to the lack of knowledge about smoking and health and the lack of knowledge about the effects of smoking on recovery from other addictions. That simply is no longer the case. Science has weighed in on these issues and the findings are excruciatingly clear.”

Barriers and solutions to addressing tobacco dependence in addiction treatment programs
Source: www.thefreelibrary.com
Author: Ziedonis, Douglas M.; Guydish, Joseph; Williams, Jill; Steinberg, Marc; Foulds, Jonathan
Synopsis: Despite the high prevalence of tobacco use among people with substance use disorders, tobacco dependence is often overlooked in addiction treatment programs. Several studies and a meta-analytic review have concluded that patients who receive tobacco dependence treatment during addiction treatment have better overall substance abuse treatment outcomes compared with those who do not. Barriers that contribute to the lack of attention given to this important problem include staff attitudes about and use of tobacco, lack of adequate staff training to address tobacco use, unfounded fears among treatment staff and administration regarding tobacco policies, and limited tobacco dependence treatment resources.

Author: Richard D. Hurt, MD; Kenneth P. Offord, MS; Ivana T. Croghan, PhD; Leigh Gomez-Dahl; Thomas E. Kottke, MD; Robert M. Morse, MD; L. Joseph Melton III, MD
Synopsis: In this article in the Journal of the American Medical Association, the authors of a study from 1996 conclude that patients previously treated for alcoholism and/or other non-nicotine drug dependence had an increased cumulative mortality that was due more to tobacco-related than to alcohol-related causes.
The authors further conclude that nicotine dependence treatment is imperative in such high-risk patients.

A Rationale and Model for Addressing Tobacco Dependence in Substance abuse Treatment

Author: Kimberly P Richter, Julia H Arnsten
Synopsis: This paper reviews the literature on the health benefits of quitting smoking for drug treatment patients, whether smoking causes relapse to other drug or alcohol abuse, the treatment of tobacco dependence, and good and bad times for quitting smoking among drug treatment patients. It also presents a conceptual model and recommendations for treating tobacco in substance abuse treatment, and provides references to internet and paper-copy tools and information for treating tobacco dependence.
“Most persons in drug treatment smoke cigarettes. Until drug treatment facilities systematically treat their patients' tobacco use, millions will flow through the drug treatment system, overcome their primary drug of abuse, but die
prematurely from tobacco-related illnesses.”

Synopsis: “New Jersey was the first State to require that all residential addiction treatment programs assess and treat patients for tobacco dependence and maintain tobacco-free facilities (including grounds). An evaluation of this
policy change found that tobacco dependence treatment can be successfully integrated into residential substance abuse treatment programs through policy regulation, training, and the provision of nicotine replacement therapy (NRT)
(Williams et al. 2005). Many other addiction treatment agencies (both residential and outpatient) around the country now have implemented or are planning to implement similar policies to ensure that their patients receive
appropriate assessment and treatment of their tobacco dependence while receiving treatment for addiction to other substances. This paper aims to summarize the lessons learned from the experience in New Jersey.”

Enforced abstinence from tobacco during

Synopsis: Although the prevalence of tobacco use in those in substance abuse treatment is known to be quite high, most treatment programs do not address tobacco. This study demonstrates that tobacco use is correlated with relapse and addressing tobacco in treatment as seriously as and in the same fashion as other drugs, improves outcomes.
“When provided with a tobacco free treatment environment for 90 days, patients with substance abuse and mental illness can and do make the decision to quit tobacco and stay quit, aiding their ability to remain sober.”
