Time to Quit
There’s hope
Quitting smoking can be difficult, but the Mercy Health — Tobacco Treatment Center is here to help.
Our program addresses critical issues, including:
• Common fears about quitting
• Triggers related to stress
• The role of proper nutrition and exercise
• Coping and problem-solving
• Relapse prevention
Treatment professionals at the center create an individual plan for each participant. Your plan incorporates all the tools necessary to help you kick the habit.
How the program works
We offer three different programs to meet your individual needs. After an initial assessment, you will receive a program recommendation from certified tobacco treatment specialist appropriate to your individual needs.
Community Program:
Five weekly group or individual counseling sessions with the goal of complete abstinence by the third week of care. During the program, six weeks of nicotine replacement therapy will be offered.
Mental Health Expanded Program:
Ten weekly group or individual counseling sessions for individuals with co-occurring mental illness who are nicotine dependent. As with the Community Program, medication assistance is offered with the goal of abstinence by the last month of treatment.
Tobacco Education Program:
Five weekly education sessions for individuals not yet committed to cessation, but who wish to learn about the health effects of tobacco, techniques for quitting and medication assisted options available should they decide to stop.
Through the program, you will learn to:
• See tobacco dependence as a chronic disease
• Improve overall health, wellness and quality of life
• Fine-tune problem-solving, coping and stress-reduction skills
• Develop and apply a relapse prevention plan
• Know and use resources, support systems and agencies
