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.

Educational Objectives:

Summarize the co-occurrence and prevalence of opioid and nicotine use.
Describe the compelling factors for co-treatment of nicotine and opioid use.
