We are pleased to be able to offer you the opportunity to participate in a personal 4-week Tobacco Treatment Program. This is a Fee-for-Service program and weekly attendance is important because each week builds on the one before it.
Individual Counseling:
The counseling sessions are facilitated by one of our trained Tobacco Treatment Specialists. We offer a comprehensive program that will assess your individual needs and help you to develop your own personal treatment program. You will learn about medications that are available to assist you with your quit process along with behavior modification that will greatly increase your chances for success. We can also assist you if you decide to go "Cold Turkey".
Program Cost:
Due to the current economic climate Shore Medical Center is reducing the cost of our Tobacco Treatment Program as follows:
- Four session package is now $100 plus the cost of Nicotine Replacement
- Additional sessions if needed are now $35 each
- Payment is due in full prior to the beginning of the first session
- Financial Assistance is available
Nicotine Replacement:
Before your first session we suggest you do advance research into area retail suppliers to find the best place for you to purchase your over-the counter Nicotine Replacement Therapy (NRT) should you decide to use it in your quit process. For most people the cost of NRT for two weeks is less than the cost of cigarettes for two weeks. Opting for two forms of NRT such as: one passive (patch) and one active (gum or lozenge) improves management of cravings and triggers during the quit process. There are additional medications that will be discussed that are available only through prescription and approval by your primary healthcare provider.
