Join our webinar to learn how nicotine exposure changes the brain's reward circuitry in ways that increase vulnerability to other substance use disorders. This 75-minute webinar features Dr. Steve Delisi, a seasoned board-certified psychiatrist, addiction expert, and medical educator at the University of California - Irvine School of Medicine and the Hazelden Betty Ford Graduate School.

Dr. Delisi will explain the neuroscience behind nicotine priming the brain for substance use disorders, describe why the adolescent brain is uniquely susceptible to nicotine's priming effects, highlight organizational policies that include tobacco treatment in substance use disorder programs, and distinguish between misconceptions and evidence on whether treating tobacco use during substance use treatment/recovery helps or hinders outcomes.

A Q & A session will follow the webinar.
