​AFTERCARE PLANNING / RELAPSE PREVENTION

• Success in addiction recovery is an ongoing process. This means the patient is never “cured” but has begun to build a foundation for recovery during their stay.
  
• All too often, aftercare is treated as more of an afterthought. At Smoking Cessaion Wellness Retreats, we treat the whole individual with lifetime goal achievement in mind from the minute you contact us during your Intake Consultation.
• Aftercare is a vital part of our comprehensive clinical program. We work with each client to develop a unique aftercare plan, tailored specifically for their needs, that will help them to stay grounded in maintaining a lifestyle of abstinence.
  
  

   DINING   Our Smoking Cessation Package in Florida Only includes a Full Service Breakfast Meeting at our Local Affiliated Restaurant.
 We will be making decisions together in the evening in attending one of the lovely restaurants in town during this high trigger event (post mealtime) which we always partake as a group for support - and of course the wonderful company! 

​

• Symptoms during the first few days of recovery can be uncomfortable. Exercise, Yoga, Meditation sessions as well as incorporating fun adventures and laughter definitely makes everything more tolerable.  

• Our Motto is, "Move a Muscle, Change a Thought!" Clients report that these distraction techniques - education, adventures and keeping busy make their withdrawals from Nicotine far less severe with shorter craving periods .

• ​Early recovery tends to be an emotional roller-coaster. Relaxation and self-soothing techniques taught will help people deal more effectively with stress - especially the first few days of abstinence. We will provide a foundation and Toolbox of tips and tricks when these cravings appear giving you confidence for success. These skills as well as breathing and healthier coping skills are taught throughout your Quit transition.

• ​Our Goal is for You to 'Stay Stopped" when you return home and get you back on a path towards a healthier lifestyle and increasing your confidence for a successful Quit in your Nicotine Recovery 

THE BENEFITS OF A GROUP is CREATING A "BUDDY SYSTEM" ​!
​
The philosophy of this Unique approach offers encouragement and support throughout your smoking cessation journey with the knowing and comfort that you are never alone!  

• ​We cannot over-emphasize the importance of having a support network in place to help 'take the edge off' - which is why our smoker participants not only connect with one another through their common denominator in giving up their nicotine addiction, but these relationships become bonds of encouragement and support throughout their stay. Many friendships are cemented during these times and lifetime friendships have come to pass.

• We also encourage anyone if they want to bring a companion- whether it's a spouse, significant other, family member or friend for a  resort spa vacation.
  

• Not bringing anyone? No need to worry ~ we all form the bond of friendship during our quit journey together...
