Substance abuse treatments that target main issues such as serious drug and alcohol\u00a0addiction\u00a0are not frequently being used to also wean adolescents from tobacco, a University of Georgia study found.<\/p>\n

Tobacco addiction in adolescents is oftentimes an overlooked issue because it doesn’t carry with it the stigma that alcohol abuse and other serious drugs do, according to the study’s lead author, Jessica Muilenburg, an associate professor at UGA’s College of Public Health and health promotion and behavior graduate coordinator.<\/p>\n

What most don’t realize is that tobacco, she said, “changes the chemistry of your brain and makes you crave whatever your drug of choice is, which is why kicking the tobacco habit with the rest of your addictions is important.<\/p>\n

“It’s a drug, but it’s not treated in the same capacity and with the same urgency as other drugs. We are saying to treat it with the same urgency, because relapse is less likely if you treat the nicotine as well.”<\/p>\n

Muilenburg has focused much of her research on tobacco use in adolescents and young adults–considering treatment factors that might help them beat these behaviors permanently. For this study, published in the\u00a0Journal of Adolescent Health, she and her co-authors looked at addiction treatments for adolescents and young adults ages 12-28.<\/p>\n

Tobacco use is a public health concern that frequently starts during early adolescence and continues across a person’s lifespan. According to the Department of Health and Human Services, approximately 2.6 million adolescents smoke cigarettes, and 3.3 million use some sort of tobacco product.<\/p>\n

The researchers tracked down substance abuse centers throughout the U.S. and analyzed treatment practices in those considered adolescent-only clinics. To gather the necessary information, they completed surveys with each of the counselors in those 22 centers.<\/p>\n

After analyzing several factors, researchers found that a small number of counselors in these adolescent-only substance abuse treatment centers actually implemented some sort of tobacco cessation treatment when seeing patients.<\/p>\n

Additionally, they found that a majority of these counselors do have the knowledge to implement tobacco cessation treatments and the ability to prescribe medications–such as the patch or nicotine chewing gum–to help adolescents quit. However, counselors don’t typically do so for the adolescents they are seeing.<\/p>\n

“Their primary goal is getting them off of alcohol and other drugs, but if we can get them off of all drugs, including tobacco, it will be more beneficial for them in the future,” Muilenburg said in their news release.<\/p>\n

In celebration of today\u2019s annual Great American Smokeout, the Tobacco-Free College Campus Initiative is asking colleges and universities across the country to take a 1 Day Stand against tobacco today. <\/em>Find ideas here.<\/em><\/p>\n
