The design of this program provides instruction in the following four key areas:

Different people use tobacco for different reasons, and are addicted at different levels. Learn to assess and evaluate dependency factors and lifestyle patterns, in order to create more effective treatment plans and relapse prevention strategies.

When you treat tobacco dependency, you are also treating depression, anger, and social behaviors.

People who smoke relate to their cigarettes better than to other people; they use their cigarettes to control social situations. Smokers who get angry will automatically reach for the pack, depressed smokers will simply light up rather than take healthy actions.

Treatment of tobacco dependency requires the development of counseling strategies that can equip clients to face life tobacco free - and also develop a new sense of identity.

Practical strategies for addressing adolescent tobacco dependency, smokeless tobacco dependency, and the unique needs of special populations are included in this course.

Learn the information and skills you need to effectively treat tobacco dependency, including:

Nicotine Replacement Therapies
Lifestyle Change and Wellness Approaches
Cognitive, Behavioral and Spiritual Approaches

Learn what works, what does not work, and how to develop treatment plans in counseling, healthcare, corporate, education or fitness settings.

They say most smokers try to quit smoking at least 8 or 9 times before they finally succeed.

If you are prepared to offer relapse prevention counseling, you can increase the efficacy of your services. Increased success means healthier clients, greater levels of referral and increased job satisfaction.

This course will teach the skills necessary to assess relapse potential and help clients finally succeed - even following relapse.
