Tobacco Cessation

 At AMH, we understand the extreme hold that nicotine can have on a person.  And we respect the fact that though many people wish to quit, it’s much easier said than done.  Quitting tobacco is a process that sometimes ends in failure, but with each quit attempt, users become closer to being tobacco free.

We use the most up-to-date education and clinical guidelines to provide the highest quality of support, and to give you the best possible chance at living a tobacco-free life.  The following programs are currently available:

Tobacco 101 Seminars:
This 1-hour seminar is designed to help you understand why you use tobacco, identify your triggers for using nicotine, understand nicotine replacement therapy options, and develop a support system as you quit.

Schedule for 2009 Tobacco 101 Seminars coming soon.

“Quit It” 10-week Program:
The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services suggests that the combination of education, support, and the proper pharmacotherapy (nicotine replacement therapy) will give a tobacco user the best chance at achieving success.  With this knowledge, our “Quit It” Program has been designed to provide one-on-one coaching, weekly support groups, and appropriate Nicotine Replacement Therapy to participants. 

Nicotine Replacement Therapy products will be provided to participants who are actively involved in the 10-week program.
