Tobacco Cessation Intervention for Behavioral Health Providers

Commercial tobacco use is still the number one cause of preventable death and individuals with behavioral health conditions and substance abuse disorders have significantly higher rates of tobacco use in comparison to the overall population. Tobacco Use Disorder is underdiagnosed and undertreated and continued tobacco use can interfere with treatment plans. 

This webinar covers the disparity of tobacco use among those with a behavioral health condition, the treatment of Tobacco Use Disorder and cessation resources that are available for patients and clients, including the South Dakota QuitLine.

Continuing Education Credit

1 CE is available from the South Dakota Board of Addiction and Prevention Professionals or the Mental Health Counseling Board.
