Abstract
Introduction
In Australia, up to 95% of people entering AOD treatment smoke tobacco, which is five times greater than for the general adult population. Smokers receiving AOD treatment are interested in quitting and make quit attempts, however heavy nicotine dependence among these smokers contributes to high relapse rates. The purpose of this pilot trial is to explore the feasibility, acceptability, adherence and potential effectiveness of two forms of smoking cessation support for AOD clients following discharge from care.
