If you’re a smoker and have considered “kicking the habit,” Middlesex Hospital’s Smoking Intervention Service can help. The service offers confidential one–on–one, individual counseling, support groups and educational programs to the community. Dedicated to providing smokers with the help they need, the Smoking Intervention Service encourages smokers to work with the program as much as necessary to become, and remain, smoke-free. It offers these services in Middletown, Westbrook and Marlborough and most insurances cover the cost.
As part of a grant from the State Department of Public Health through 2014, the Smoking Intervention Service also offers free nicotine replacement therapy and smoking cessation counseling to Medicaid and uninsured patients who would like to quit smoking. Two months of nicotine replacement therapy (patch or gum) is being offered to any Medicaid or uninsured patient who registers for the program.
