APNTR Program Descriptions:
Arizona Smokers' Helpline (ASH)
Areas Served: Statewide/All Arizona counties
Program Description:
The Arizona Smoker's Helpline provides a variety
of services. If the client is seeking assistance with tobacco use cessation,
the following specialized service options are currently available:
Services for Information Only Clients - Many clients who contact the
Arizona Smokers' Helpline are not ready to make a commitment to actually
quit and are just beginning to ponder the idea of living tobacco-free. These
clients are sent motivational materials, a list of cessation programs available
in their area, and are encouraged to call back when they are ready to begin
counseling.
Services for Self-Help Clients - Some clients are serious about quitting but
prefer to do it without the aid of an Arizona Smokers' Helpline counselor.
Such clients are sent the self-help Arizona Smokers' Helpline Guide to
Tobacco-Free Lives to aid them in their efforts to quit, and a list of cessation
programs available in their area.
These clients are also encouraged to call back with further questions or to
receive counseling services.
Services for Counseling Clients - Other clients that contact the Arizona
Smokers' Helpline are ready to quit (i.e., motivated to quit within the next
two weeks with a high probability of abstinence for at least 24 hours), and
are seeking assistance from counselors. For these clients, a Quit Date is set
within two weeks and they are mailed an Arizona Smokers' Helpline Guide to
Tobacco-Free Lives to help them prepare for their target quit day. In
addition, clients are encouraged to identify their own idiosyncratic tobacco
use habits and to develop plans to cope with tobacco use urges before they
are contacted by an Arizona Smokers' Helpline counselor for their first
counseling session. Subsequently, clients are contacted the day before they
quit, the day after they quit, one week after they quit, and at various
essential time intervals for up to a year.
