Most of us in the addiction treatment world have shied away from dealing with smokers in our treatment facilities. Many forces are at work to ban smoking in treatment centers, and we can no longer avoid the issue.
Conventional wisdom in the past has led us to believe that we were helping our clients by letting them smoke while we focused on abstinence from alcohol and other drugs. But new studies have shown that people who quit smoking while in treatment have a 25% higher rate of long-term abstinence. There is growing evidence that "vaping" electronic cigarettes is a relatively safe & proven means to smoking cessation, with up to an 80% quit rate. We know that this can be more successful when clients are given guidance and tools to succeed. This project can help you help your clients at no cost to you.
If you would like some donated products that you can hand out to your patients please click below and we will try to send you some. If you are located in the Los Angeles/Orange County area we can not only give you supplies but some onsite help as well. We can do presentations to your clients or staff (including CEUs for the BBS, Nurses and all addiction counselor certifying bodies) about smoking cessation tools) at no cost to you.
