This specialized 4-hour course addresses the complex intersection of tobacco dependence and co-occurring mental health or substance use disorders. Designed for Certified Tobacco Treatment Specialists (CTTS), this training challenges the antiquated "symptom management" view of tobacco use in behavioral health. Participants will explore the neurobiological links between nicotine and other pathologies, master integrated assessment protocols, navigate complex pharmacotherapy interactions, and apply evidence-based interventions like Motivational Interviewing and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. The course emphasizes a holistic, recovery-oriented approach that treats tobacco dependence as a primary, rather than secondary, clinical concern. This course counts as 4 hours towards the 12 hours needed under electives for the CTTS certification by the Florida Certification Board.
