Instruction is provided by MCDH staff that is trained in the American Lung Association’s Freedom From Smoking® program. This program is considered the “gold standard” and has helped tens of thousands of smokers quit over the last 30 years. 

Evaluation studies have shown that individuals who participate in Freedom From Smoking® experience immediate health benefits, learn to address the physical, mental, and social aspects of their addiction, and are six times more likely to be smoke free one year later than those who quit on their own.  Call 815-334-4525 today.
