Field Test of a Dialectical Behavior Therapy Skills Training-Based Intervention for Smoking Cessation and Opioid Relapse Prevention in Methadone Treatment.

CONCLUSIONS: A DBT skills training-based intervention for individuals who smoke and have an opioid use disorder is feasible and acceptable in methadone treatment and may help this population prevent drug relapse, attempt to quit smoking, experience smoke-free days, and cut down on their smoking. More research is needed to determine the optimal structure and components of a DBT skills-based intervention for drug relapse prevention and smoking cessation. Further, a randomized controlled trial of DBT-Quit is needed to determine the efficacy of DBT skills training for smoking cessation and drug relapse prevention in this population.
