Smoking Cessation Classes

Programs are free of charge for employees, and patients with UMHS physician referral. For all others the cost is $100.00.

Each month at least one quit smoking group is offered. This format meets eight times in seven weeks. Sessions last ninety minutes. The first three weeks are spent preparing to quit, the fourth session is quit night, and the last four sessions are spent on staying quit. The advantages of the group are more support from others trying to quit too. Group members can hear a broader range of experiences while developing coping skills to remain smoke-free.

For those who feel a group experience does not suit them, there is
individual counseling available. Individuals or couples can meet with a
counselor for up to five, 50-minute sessions. The advantage of individual
sessions is the focus is entirely on the individual and allows for greater
flexibility in scheduling appointments.
