Comprehensive tobacco addiction treatment programs are now being offered to all smokers who wish to break free from their tobacco addiction. We have been treating tobacco addiction since 1989 when our first outpatient Smokers Treatment Centre opened on Bank Street in Ottawa, Canada. We have a very high recovery rate by positioning relapse as a learning event and not a failure exercise. We guide you through a professional recovery planning process designed by experience and specifically adapted to meet your own personal needs.

You will be fully prepared to:

• identify the nature of the condition you are encountering

• develop a specifically designed recovery action plan

• learn the basic skills, strategies and tools necessary to win your ‘fight for life’

PLUS – A Recovery Manual, Journey Stones

• Journal, Meditation Book, Charts

• Stories, Smudging Materials, Poems

• Survival Kit, Tennis Balls, Whistles, Crazy Putty

• The Walk of Life, a profound healing tool

• 15 hours of support for the next 100 Days
