Goal of Training
One of the most positive, cost-effective influences any professional can have is to help a client quit smoking. Nicotine is strongly addictive. Tobacco is the leading preventable cause of death in the United States, contributing to greater mortality than alcohol, illicit drugs, HIV, suicide, homicide, motor vehicle accidents, and obesity, all combined (Centers for Disease Control, 2005).

"Tobacco is a big blind spot for many in our field. We are used to working with clients with what sound like more severe problemsbut sometimes we forget that tobacco kills more of our clients than all those other 'serious' drugs put together."  Erik Stone, Director of Compliance and Quality Improvement, Signal Behavioral Health Network

Many accreditation agencies for treatment facilities are beginning to see the importance in integrating tobacco cessation into treatment. The Joint Commission on Accreditation of Healthcare Organizations (JCAHO) requires smoking policies, and both the Association for Addiction Professionals (NAADAC) and the American Society for Addiction Medicine support the treatment of tobacco dependence. Beginning January 2014, all CADCs applying for re-certification must have a minimum of two hours of continuing education in tobacco dependence/prevention.

This course will assist professionals in starting the process of integrating tobacco addiction education and treatment into practice. Many service providers are beginning to address tobacco dependence in their programs due to the devastating toll tobacco use has on people with substance abuse and mental health disorders. Attendees will gain information, skills and resources to support this important work. Addressing nicotine dependence at the same time as other treatment goals is a safe practice and actually improves all treatment outcomes for
