Tobacco Cessation

We understand the extreme hold that nicotine can have on a person.  And we respect the fact that though many people wish to quit, it’s much easier said than done.  Quitting tobacco is a process that sometimes ends in failure, but with each quit attempt, users become closer to being tobacco free.
We use the most up-to-date education and clinical guidelines from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services and the Mayo Clinic Nicotine Dependence Center to provide the highest quality of support, and to give you the best possible chance at living a tobacco-free life.  The following programs are currently available:

Tobacco 101 Seminars:
This 1-hour seminar is designed to help you understand why you use tobacco, identify your triggers for using nicotine, understand nicotine replacement therapy options, and develop a support system as you quit.

“Quit It” 10-week Program:
The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services suggests that the combination of education, support, and the proper pharmacotherapy (nicotine replacement therapy) will give a tobacco user the best chance at achieving success.  With this knowledge, our “Quit It” Program has been designed to provide one-on-one coaching, weekly support groups, and appropriate Nicotine Replacement Therapy to participants.
Nicotine Replacement Therapy products will be provided to participants who are actively involved in the 10-week program.
