At the Mercer County Smoking QuitCenter, smokers seeking treatment will meet with a Tobacco Dependence Treatment Specialist for an assessment where they can discuss their treatment options and develop a personalized treatment plan. Options include individual or group counseling and a wide variety of nicotine replacement products (i.e., nicotine gum, patch, lozenge, inhaler, spray), bupropion or Chantix. On-site counseling is free and nicotine replacement products are available at greatly reduced rates.
For many people smoking is not just an addiction to the effects of nicotine but also has powerful social, emotional, and behavioral components that all must be addressed. A counselor at the QuitCenter can help identify these components and design a very individualized, personalized plan to quit. In sessions with the counselor the plan can be evaluated and modified if necessary. The counselor is able to provide immediate feedback using a carbon monoxide monitor to measure the individual’s success during the quitting process.
