SMOKING CESSATION SERVICES

We offer individuals the tools necessary to end their addition to nicotine and tobacco products. We provide individuals with a variety of resources to quit smoking now. 

TFSC Agency Smoke-Free Policy: Our agency currently has a non-smoking policy, which prohibits all staff and clients from smoking within 20 feet of the agency. 

  • No smoking within 50 feet of the agency entrances or exits
  • No smoking in or within 20 ft of any TFSC Transportation Vehicles
  • Staff are prohibited from smoking with or in the vicinity of clients 
  • Staff are prohibited from coming to work smelling like smoke/tobacco
  • Staff are required to attend an annual smoking cessation education training hosted by the agency
  • Staff will adopt a routine screening and referral process for nicotine addiction during Intake and treatment. Treatment Plans will include questions about smoking addiction and referrals will be made to appropriate services.
  • Clients enrolled in substance abuse treatment services who identify smoking as one of their addictions will be required to attend a monthly smoking cessation group as part of their treatment plan

Smoking Cessation Workshops. We realize that the process of combating nicotine addiction is often long and difficult for individuals. We offer a specialized 6 week Smoking Cessation group that meets once a week for an hour. The aim of the workshop will be to provide both individual support and educates individuals on the nature of nicotine addiction, smoking triggers, the health risks of smoking, relapse prevention and long-term sobriety, and more. 

For more information about Smoking Cessation Workshops, please contact your local TFSC location. 

Self-help Resources. We offer a library of resources, publications and resource materials for reference and distribution to individuals seeking information about smoking cessation. Resources include nicotine patches, smoking cessation hotline cards, medical clinics and additional behavioral intervention therapies to aid in the recovery process. 

Youth Smoking Cessation Outreach and Prevention. We offer a specialized two-day smoking intervention and prevention workshop geared exclusively to youth (12-18 years). This program is available on-site at our locations as well as in collaboration with local schools. We are available to work closely with teachers, staff and administrators in developing and implementing smoking cessation workshops to best meet the needs of the student body. Our staff can take the lead in the development of the curriculum and supplementary education materials specifically directed towards the needs of the school.
