How We Help You Quit
We know that a "one-size-fits-all" approach doesn't work for nicotine addiction. Our treatment pillars are designed to meet you exactly where you are.
Vaping & E-Cigarette Cessation
Vaping is not just "water vapor"—it is often a high-nicotine addiction. We offer dedicated vaping cessation therapy and E-cigarette addiction counseling for teens and adults struggling to put down the vape. Our approach addresses the unique behavioral triggers associated with devices like Juul and Elf Bars.
Combustible Tobacco Recovery
If you are ready to stop smoking traditional cigarettes or cigars, our CBT for smoking cessation and behavioral modification programs are the gold standard. We provide the tools you need to manage cravings, identify triggers, and build a smoke-free life.

Smokeless Tobacco & Nicotine Pouches
Addicted to dip, chew, or pouches like Zyn and On!? You might not identify as a "smoker," but the nicotine dependence is real. Our nicotine pouch addiction treatment helps you break the cycle of oral nicotine use with strategies tailored to smokeless tobacco recovery.
