Overview
What you can do to help clients in Alcohol and Other Drug Services stop smoking
Details
The aim of the workshop is to support smoking cessation in alcohol and other drug (AOD) services. In Australia, up to 95% of people entering AOD treatment smoke tobacco. In addition, people often present for treatment displaying multiple substance abuse, mental health, and/or physical health problems. Recently, there have been a number of exciting developments in addressing smoking cessation and comorbidity among people attending AOD services. In this practically focused workshop, leading clinicians and researchers will present results from recent literature reviews and treatment trials, and describe new trials in progress.
Participants’ knowledge and skills will be improved in the following areas:
· The effectiveness of addressing smoking in AOD settings (Overview by Amanda Baker).
· A 3 step brief intervention for smoking cessation that can be integrated into AOD services (Donita Baird and Cathy Segan).
· Conducting Healthy Lifestyle interventions (Peter Kelly).
· Addressing smoking in pregnant women attending substance use services: overview and the iQuiP trial (Melissa Jackson).
· QuitNic: A pilot study comparing standard nicotine replacement therapy and electronic cigarettes for smoking cessation upon client discharge from a smoke-free drug and alcohol detox unit (Billie Bonevski and Victoria Manning).
Interactive exercises will be undertaken focusing on key elements of assessment and intervention.
