Our treatment program for tobacco cessation often involves a combination of medication, education and counseling.  Your treatment will be tailored to you as an individual with a focus on helping you manage smoking triggers by utilizing relaxation techniques, stress management strategies, social support, and prescription and  over-the-counter quit smoking aids. Smoking cessation treatment plans can take up to three months. Our goal is to help you achieve lasting success and avoid a relapse in the future.

Most people who get over the initial uncomfortable withdrawal symptoms and quit smoking or using tobacco products can expect a noticeable improvement in breathing and lung function, lowered blood pressure, and overall improved quality of life.

Risks for cancer, diabetes, heart disease, and other chronic conditions are dramatically reduced.

• Triggering the release of chemicals in the brain that make you feel good
• Changing the way your brain works
• Creating irritability, anxiety, and unease when you quit
