Integration Project
Created to begin the process of

nicotine dependence treatment
in Dane County's 100% tobaccofree AODA treatment services
What Is a Tobacco-Free
AODA Program
A 100% tobacco-free
AODA treatment program
has two basic components
A tobacco-free facility and grounds are
100% tobacco free from all tobacco
products. No possession or use of tobacco
products is permitted. The tobacco-free
policy applies to all staff, patients/clients,
volunteers, visitors and guests and requires
a sign-off agreement to accept the
tobacco-free policy as a condition of
participation.
A tobacco-free program assesses and treats
nicotine dependence as a substance use
disorder of equal importance as alcohol
dependence and other substance use
disorders typically treated in Dane County
AODA services. Evidence-based nicotine
dependence treatment is included in
patient’s treatment and recovery plans. This
includes, assessment, referrals, education,
treatment and continuing recovery plans as
recorded in progress notes and records.

A bit about us..
• Private practice, licensed under Chapter 35 but
provide dual-diagnosis treatment.
• Three partners (owners) and four employees.
• No admin staff. One staff dually-certified in
AODA/MH. The rest are MH certified only.
• Most have knowledge of and minimal training
in MET.
Starting point…
• Everyone on the staff except myself is a past
smoker. The most recent “quitter” was three
months ago.
• I was the only staff to have heard WINTIP
presentation or to have attended the kick off.
• YIKES!!!!!
Goals
• Get buy-in from the team that this was a
worthwhile endeavor for OPEN DOOR.
• Implement a plan for integrating screening tools
into intake and at least raising the question of
smoking cessation as a goal for people.
• Identify clients who were interested in quitting
and refer to QuitLine.
• Work toward having a certified staff member who
can treat nicotine dependence inhouse at OPEN
DOOR.
Progress…
• All staff have agreed to the project in theory!!
• Signage displayed in our clinic.
• One staff member has met with Mac to discuss
treatment integration and will be attending
Intensive training by year end (applying for
scholarship, using stipend to offset cost of
training).
• Three clients were identified as nicotine
dependent and all three were referred to the
QuitLine.

ARC Community Services
ARC is a non-profit organization that
operates thirteen projects serving Dane and
Fond du Lac counties.
Each program serves women and their
children with innovative, gender-specific,
comprehensive wraparound care. All
programs are nearly100% grant-funded and
there is no cost to the participant.
The Problem
 Our new health educator was shocked at how
many of our clients were smoking-95%
 Upon further study she found that they were
smoking, on average, a half a pack a day.
Anecdotally, many of the clients reported
increased tobacco use upon entering treatment.
 From February 2012-December 2012, only 3
women enrolled in either the Quitline or Fresh
Breath.
The Plan
Made Possible With WINTIP Grant
Paid to
Quit
Project
(Client
Level)
•Incentivize women to enroll in the Quitline or First Breath
programs (gift cards)
•Create alternative break activities (crafts, Wii fit, nail polish)
•Foster development tobacco cessation culture (group quit
dates)
•All women will be screened/assessed for nicotine
dependence
P&P
changes
(Staff
Level)
•Pre-Treatment--Fagerstrom will be completed and
discussed in pre-treatment group
•Treatment—Add nicotine goals to treatment plan,
continue/increase groups on nicotine education, etc

Next Steps/Thoughts

changes.

other ideas on how to further advance tobacco
cessation.
