Smoking Cessation

FPO pic
“After Matria educated me about the effects of smoking, I quit for good.”

Matria’s New Start for Smoking Cessation Program provides lifestyle management support for employees who wish to quit smoking. Through educational materials and telephonic wellness counseling, employees learn how to manage side effects from nicotine withdrawal, improve unhealthy lifestyle habits that lead to smoking and take full responsibility for their physical and mental health.

Behavioral health professionals conduct a range of thorough assessments to form a profile that increases the chances for intervention success. Assessment results are used to help employees develop individualized action plans to meet their specific needs. Assessments include:

  • Lifestyle habits
  • Readiness to change
  • Beliefs about how change occurs
  • Productivity

Providing a smoking cessation program reduces your employee risk for smoking-related chronic diseases and your overall healthcare costs from smoking-related medical problems.
