About the Education

Common misconceptions of tobacco misuse disorder have caused clinicians to mistakenly believe that encouraging patients to address their tobacco use disorder may disrupt the treatment for other SUDs. However, research has clearly demonstrated the efficacy of treating tobacco use disorder in parallel with other SUDs. Continued tobacco use corresponds to poorer addiction treatment outcomes, including a higher likelihood of relapse to substance use. The integration of tobacco-related services into addiction treatment can improve treatment outcomes, promote recovery, and reduce the well-established harms of ongoing tobacco use, including tobacco-related death and disease. Understanding these options and misconceptions about treatment alternatives can help improve outcomes for patients.

Learn about effective treatment strategies from ASAM's national experts, whether you're a nurse practitioner, physician, addiction specialist, or primary care provider.
