New smoking cessation program offered

RBC | The Rio Blanco County Department of Public Health and Environment is now assisting folks who are interested in not smoking by scheduling appointments for auricular therapy.
This therapy is a procedure in which a mild electronic stimulation is administered to the outside of both ears. It is provided by D.C. Stop Smoking, a small business out of Grand Junction.
This procedure uses a mild electronic stimulation, similar to ear acupuncture, but no needles are involved.
The procedure makes a person feel like they don’t need nicotine. Simple and effective methods are taught to help overpower triggers that tell you to smoke.
For more information, please call the Rio Blanco County Department of Public Health and Environment at 970-878-9520.
