One-on-one telephone counseling and self-help materials.
If you're ready to quit, a Helpline counselor can set up a quit plan that is right for you. An intake counselor will answer your first call and send you a packet of helpful information. The program provides information on arranging counseling sessions. A cessation counselor will return your call within 48 hours.
The Helpline program can provide you with the Certificate of Enrollment necessary to receive nicotine patches, nicotine gum, or Zyban through Medi-Cal. You will need to take the certificate, along with a prescription from your doctor, to the pharmacy.
Most of the help lines have specialized counseling for teens 14 and older.
