Access Education

Description

Although tobacco use is the leading cause of preventable disease and death in the US and individuals with mental illnesses and substance use disorders have extremely high prevalence, it is usually overlooked in mental health and addictions treatment. This workshop will examine the benefits of tobacco cessation in improving depression, anxiety, affect and overall psychological quality of life and improvements in long term abstinence rates from alcohol or illicit drugs. Evidence based strategies, including a guideline-based brief intervention of 3 minutes will be explored.

Learning Objectives

• Understand extremely high tobacco use prevalence rates and the related disease and economic burdens for individuals with behavioral health conditions within a health disparities framework.
• Examine common barriers and strategic interventions for consistently integrating tobacco treatment along with other behavioral health services.
• Implement the guideline-based brief intervention, which significantly improves client readiness to make a tobacco quit attempt.
