Free Smoking Cessation Program at MCCA in Waterbury & Derby

MCCA is helping members of the community quit tobacco with a FREE tobacco cessation program. "Commit 2 Quit" teaches a variety of methods to help individuals quit tobacco.   
 
Program Options Include:

  • Group Counseling
  • One-on-One Counseling
  • Free Nicotine Replacement Therapy
 
"The goal of the program is to help you learn how to quit," said Terry Budlong, coordinator of the program. "There are different methods of quitting and managing nicotine withdrawal. If one method didn't work for you in the past we'll help you understand all your options."
 
Through group discussion and activities, participants learn how to develop a quit plan that addresses their personal behaviors and habits. Strategies to manage nicotine withdrawal, behaviors, triggers, and urges are all discussed as well as weight control and stress management.
 
Groups are free and open to the public at the following locations:
   
Danbury * Waterbury * Derby *  New Haven  *  Torrington
