Addressing Nicotine Use in Patients with Opioid Use Disorder

Format: Webinar
This session explores the complex relationship between nicotine and opioid use, including shared biological pathways and how co-use can intensify pain, cravings, and withdrawal.

Integrating treatment for both conditions is increasingly recognized as essential to improving long-term outcomes.
