Science
and Practice of Smoking Cessation in SUD Treatment.
August 25, 2022 11:00 AM in Mountain Time (US and Canada)
Learn about the California Behavioral Health and Wellness Initiative, an
innovative 5-year project to assist behavioral health agencies (including
residential SUD treatment programs) with implementing tobacco-free (TF) campus
policies and evidence-based tobacco cessation treatment. The success of this initiative
led to CA State Assembly Bill AB-541, which was signed into law in August 2021,
requiring a licensed facility or a certified program to assess a patient or
client for use of all tobacco products at the time of intake and take certain
actions if the patient or client has tobacco use disorder.
Learning Objectives:
• Understand the ties between
an individual’s substance use disorder and their addiction to smoking.
• Identify how to take a
behavioral health facility smoke-free and integrate cessation treatment, under
a lens of overall wellness.
• Learn the importance of
providing NRT/pharmacotherapy for both staff and clients, and how to partner
with a local quitline for cessation resources.
