How to Enroll in the Program

Helping Patients Quit and Stay Tobacco-Free
Tobacco use is one of the most preventable causes of death in the United States. It can lead to an increased risk of heart attack, stroke and cancer, as well as vascular and lung disease.
Tobacco use is incredibly addictive, and ending dependence on it can be very difficult. Only a small percentage of people who try to stop using tobacco on their own are successful. Research shows you have a much greater chance of succeeding through a formal tobacco cessation program that combines behavior modification, education and quit aids.
What Happens When You Quit Smoking?
Regardless of your smoking history or age, there are many health benefits to quitting tobacco.
How Our Program Works
Many people want to know how to quit smoking successfully. Our specialists use a combination of evidence-based techniques which, when used together, have been shown to dramatically improve patient success.

- Assessing your health in relation to quitting
- Identifying and addressing behavioral aspects of tobacco use and potential barriers to successfully quitting
- Determining which medications may help you reduce nicotine withdrawal symptoms and remain tobacco-free
- Providing educational support, including relapse prevention
