Dane County Tobacco Integration Project Created to begin the process of integrating evidence-based 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.

Dane County Tobacco Treatment Integration Pilot Project OPEN DOOR Center for Change, LLC 6502 Grand Teton Plaza, Suite 206 Madison, WI 53719
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
The Results Number Of Women Enrolled In Quitline/First Breath
30 26 25 20 15

Next Steps/Thoughts • Continue to hold monthly meetings to check-in with staff who are responsible for implementing the changes. • Keep brainstorming (staff AND clients) to generate other ideas on how to further advance tobacco cessation.
