What must applicants for the NCTTP adhere to?

Applicants for the NCTTP (National Certified Tobacco Treatment Provider) are required to adhere to the Tobacco Provider Code of Ethics. This code establishes a framework to ensure that providers engage in ethical practices that prioritize the health and well-being of clients seeking help with tobacco cessation. It emphasizes the importance of integrity, respect, and responsibility, guiding providers in their interactions with clients and within the healthcare community.

Adhering to this code helps ensure that applicants are committed to providing evidence-based, respectful, and culturally sensitive care to those trying to quit tobacco. By following these ethical guidelines, providers can foster a trusting relationship with clients, which is essential for successful treatment outcomes.
