Why Our Treatment Works

There is both a physical and a psychological addiction to cigarettes. You must start by breaking the physical addiction – which is what our treatment does. Other programs such as the nicotine patch and gum, Zyban and hypnosis do not break the physical addiction and their success rates are very low. The physical addiction is tough to break because withdrawal symptoms include nervousness, irritability, cold sweats, insomnia, cravings, and lack of focus, just to name a few.

The psychological addiction is powerful as well. Because our treatment eliminates the torment of withdrawal, your psychological addiction will be much easier to break. Smoking habits can be replaced by non-smoking habits by making simple lifestyle changes. After receiving our treatment, we will provide you with a comprehensive guide that outlines the simple steps needed to make the necessary lifestyle change.
 
Patients can attend 4 support group sessions designed to reinforce the behavioral changes outlined during the initial medical. The group also helps with learning coping skills that they will need as a non-smoker.

How It Works

By administering small amounts of non-addictive medication, we can inhibit the desire for nicotine and the physical effects of nicotine withdrawal. These medications bind to nicotine receptor sites in your brain and completely satisfy the body’s appetite for nicotine. Your brain is fooled into thinking that you have just smoked a cigarette. Blocking these receptor sites eliminates the urges and cravings to smoke and removes all of the unpleasant withdrawal symptoms.

When you eliminate the symptoms of withdrawal normally associated with quitting, the non-smoking behaviors outlined in our take-home guide become much easier and actually fun. The end result is a permanent and lasting freedom from nicotine addiction without the agony and discomfort associated with quitting “cold turkey".
