Nicotine Treatment
The Ho-Chunk Nation has certified Tobacco Treatment Specialists excited to assist individuals interested in quitting smoking, chewing, or vaping commercial tobacco/nicotine products. Individuals can meet one-on-one for scheduled in-person or phone appointments with a specialist to develop an individualized plan to quit successfully. This can include identifying personal goals, past experiences, triggers, withdrawal symptoms, and a quit date. Medication options can be discussed in detail in terms of benefits, risks, cost and possible side effects. This program is available to Tribally enrolled Native Americans, Ho-Chunk Nation employees, and the general public. All quit smoking medications are FREE for tribal members & those with the Ho-Chunk Nation insurance.
