About this title

Synopsis

A personal guidebook that leads smokers through the nicotine cessation program. Question and answer activities combined with information allow us to explore how smoking has subtly shaped our values, attitudes, and beliefs. By better understanding the nature and rituals surrounding smoking, we can develop a long-term program to quit and stay quit. This is part of the Quit & Stay Quit Nicotine Cessation Program. A simple, thorough, proven program to help people at any stage of nicotine use tackle the addiction-and possibly save their lives. What the Nicotine Cessation Program offers: 1. Imparts vital information about the nature and dangers of nicotine in clear, forthright language. 2. Enhances treatment outcomes with a multiformat program combining the best elements of behavioral therapy and Twelve Step philosophy. 3. Helps providers reach more clients in less time -- flexible, streamlined materials adapt to specific clinical needs. 4. Supports a variety of counseling scenarios, including self-directed study. 5. Improves the odds of implementing a successful smoke-free environment for treatment, corrections, and other service providers. 6. Reduces the risk of relapse for chemically dependent clients.
