Adding Partners

Ending nicotine dependence as part of recovery.

One important bridge between the health and behavioral health spheres is the mutual concern about ending tobacco dependence. This affliction disproportionately afflicts those with mental illnesses and substance use disorders, and tobacco control experts now fully recognize the need for partnerships with behavioral health to drive smoking rates down in this underserved population. New alliances are continually being forged to plow this fertile ground in the quest to increase smoking cessation rates nationwide.
