Phoenix Programs is one of 25 programs in the United States selected by the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) as a Phase II Tobacco Cessation Pioneer, under the Tobacco-Free Campaign.

The goal of the Campaign, an ongoing partnership with the Smoking Cessation Leadership Center (SCLC), is to expand the reach of nicotine addiction and prevention services; directly impacting people with mental health or substance abuse disorders.

The additional funding will allow Phoenix Programs to enhance the existing tobacco cessation program and implement an assessment and referral system for all Phoenix Programs clients. Phoenix Programs’ tobacco cessation program is an evidence-based intervention designed to enhance long-term success in recovery for those who struggle with addiction.

This initiative will save thousands of lives and enhance the health of everyone in the recovery community. For more information about tobacco cessation services click here.
