Question by Crystal M: do you think the addiction to cigarettes should be addressed when the person is in alcohol/drug treatment?

Best answer:

Answer by fdm215
It should definitely be addressed in some way…but trying to kick two addictions simultaneously might be too much for some.

Answer by cathylwgp
Most alcohol and drug treatment centers do not allow smoking within the center itself any longer. It is an awful lot for an addict to have to do everything all at once. Not being allowed to smoke inside at least cuts the smoking down some. But, no I do not think the addiction to cigarettes is something that should be enforced at this particular time. It is too much to give up everything at once. If the addict wants to quit it is the perfect time for them as they are learning to control addictive behaviors, and can apply what they are learning to the cigarettes.
