We realize that your effort to quit smoking is a very personal matter. If you’re like most smokers, you’ve probably even tried quitting a few times by now.

• Pills and patches alone were unsatisfying.
• The group-sessions you went to didn’t address your specific needs.

But now it’s important. Now you really need to stop.

Finding the right resources to guide you through the difficult times hasn’t been easy. Without a fresh approach, you realize you’re no more likely to be successful now than you were in the past.

During your first visit, we’ll spend about three hours getting to know you better, and helping you to better understand your habit.

Ongoing Education, Treatment, and Follow-up
Smoking is a complex behavioral, biochemical and social issue. It’s not as simple as breaking a bad habit, and it’s certainly not just about will power. Scientific studies have proven that nicotine fundamentally changes the way the brain functions.

It takes time, training, and insight, in combination with aggressive medical treatment, to overcome the powerful addicting properties of nicotine.

Weekly seminars discussing topics like:

• nicotine addiction
• proper nutrition and weight gain
• stress reduction
• effective coping and relapse avoidance
• enhance your ability to stay smoke-free... for the rest of your life!
