The Centers for Disease Prevention and Control released a report of promising policies and practices to address tobacco use by
persons with mental and substance use disorders.

Many states have made great strides in addressing tobacco use in behavioral health treatment settings. The Centers for Disease Prevention and Control highlights some of these state programs, including the TTTF program in Texas, in a report which can be used as a resource by tobacco control and behavioral health programs. In particular, TTTF’s clinician and staff training and provision of nicotine replacement therapies are highlighted (page 3).
