What Is Smoking Cessation Treatment?
Smoking Cessation Treatment is a medically guided program designed to help individuals quit smoking by addressing nicotine addiction. This treatment is offered under health insurance and includes regular outpatient visits and the use of nicotine patches over a 12-week period. The program supports smokers with both physical withdrawal and emotional dependence, making it easier to quit successfully. It helps reduce serious health risks such as lung disease, cancer, and heart conditions, while also easing the financial burden of smoking.
How It Works
Smoking Cessation Treatment involves a structured 12-week program using Nicotinell TTS nicotine patches. These patches deliver a controlled dose of nicotine through the skin to reduce withdrawal symptoms and cravings. The dosage is gradually reduced in three stages (30mg → 20mg → 10mg) over the course of the treatment. Patients attend five scheduled clinic visits, during which doctors monitor progress, adjust treatment as needed, and provide guidance and support to help achieve long-term success.
