Studies have demonstrated that tobacco cessation has positive effects on recovery and relapse rates.
Imagine trying to quit smoking while also battling addiction. It sounds overwhelming, right? This episode of the Dawn Farm Addiction and Recovery Education Series, hosted by Anna Byberg and Aaron Suganuma, dives into this very challenge. Despite a general decline in tobacco use, it's still a significant issue for those dealing with alcohol and other drug addictions. Conventional wisdom once suggested that tackling tobacco use during addiction treatment was a bad idea.
However, recent studies show that quitting smoking can actually boost recovery and reduce relapse rates. Anna and Aaron debunk these old myths and highlight the benefits of going smoke-free, even in the early stages of recovery. They share practical strategies for managing cravings and discuss how addiction treatment centers can support their clients through smoke-free policies. The episode also underscores the importance of staff training in these centers to ensure effective implementation.
If you're struggling with both tobacco and substance use, or if you're supporting someone who is, this episode offers valuable insights and actionable advice. Tune in to learn how quitting smoking can improve lung function, extend life expectancy, and enhance the chances of maintaining sobriety. It's a must-listen for anyone committed to a healthier, addiction-free life.
