The Tobacco Addiction Recovery Program: Initial Outcome Findings
Tobacco addiction is a major cause of excess mortality among individuals with severe mental illness (SMI). This study examined the impact of a brief group intervention developed for individuals with SMI that integrates evidence-based and recovery-oriented strategies to address tobacco addiction. The intervention was found to significantly decrease tobacco use and dependence and increase participants' sense of self-efficacy with respect to resisting the urge to smoke. These preliminary findings indicate that the Tobacco Addiction Recovery Program intervention is an effective, recovery-oriented intervention for tobacco addiction.
