Although people with drug problems consume a large proportion of cigarettes smoked in the United States, few drug treatment facilities offer tobacco treatment. Our analysis of 405 facilities showed that most had the skills but few had policies, leadership, or financial resources to provide evidence-based tobacco treatment. For-profits reported significantly fewer tobacco treatment resources than nonprofits. The Affordable Care and Mental Health Parity acts will improve treatment access for drug-dependent persons. To realize these acts' full promise, policymakers should ensure that clients have access to tobacco treatment.
尽管有药物问题的人在美国消费了很大比例的香烟,但很少有戒毒治疗机构提供烟草治疗。我们对 405 个机构的分析表明,大多数机构都具备相关技能,但很少有机构有政策、领导层或财政资源来提供基于证据的烟草治疗。营利性机构报告的烟草治疗资源明显少于非营利性机构。平价医疗法案和精神健康平等待遇法案将改善药物依赖者的治疗机会。为了充分实现这些法案的承诺,政策制定者应该确保客户能够获得烟草治疗。
