Summary

Most alcohol-dependent individuals are heavy smokers. The aim of this study is to evaluate whether a specific smoking cessation program (based on cognitive-behavioral therapy) for inpatient alcohol-dependent smokers is more effective than a control condition (treatment as usual).

Conditions

  • Smoking Cessation
  • Alcohol Consumption

Interventions

BEHAVIORAL

Cognitive-behavioural smoking cessation program

It's a cognitive-behavioural intervention for smoking cessation. Originally based on a 6 week program designed for outpatients (Batra \& Buchkremer 2004). This program was then specifically tailored for inpatient use with additional information addressing the interaction of smoking and drinking and its consequences.

BEHAVIORAL

Autogenic training

Learning and exercising of autogenic training. There's evidence that autogenic training is not effective in smoking cessation.
