Palm View Health and Wellness views nicotine as one more arm of the addictive lifestyle. While tobacco is allowed in our program, we strongly encourage our clients to quit. Palm View knows that true recovery from addiction is a tobacco free existence. With this understanding, Palm View Health and Wellness ensures clients have every resource and support available to them should they decide to quit using tobacco while under our care.
Smoking cessation classes provide individuals with the tools and support needed to quit smoking. These classes typically include education on the risks associated with tobacco use, strategies for quitting, and support for managing nicotine withdrawal symptoms. Participants may also receive other medication-assisted treatment to manage cravings and withdrawal symptoms.
One of the benefits of smoking cessation classes at Palm View’s addiction treatment program is that they help the clients to develop healthy coping mechanisms that do not involve substance use. Many of our clients end up turning to tobacco as a substitute for other substances, or to cope with stress and anxiety. By learning healthy ways to cope with these triggers and stressors, Palm View clients can improve their overall health and reduce their risk of relapse.
In addition to improving physical health outcomes and reducing the risk of relapse, smoking cessation classes can also have a positive impact on mental health. Nicotine addiction can exacerbate symptoms of anxiety and depression, and quitting smoking can improve overall mood and reduce the risk of these co-occurring mental health disorders.
Smoking cessation classes are a valuable component of Palm View’s drug rehabilitation program. They help our clients quit smoking, develop healthy coping mechanisms, improve physical and mental health outcomes, and reduce the risk of relapse. By integrating smoking cessation classes into a comprehensive addiction treatment program, clients can achieve holistic healing and improve their overall well-being.
