Whether you smoke, chew or dip, our Tobacco Treatment Clinic offers the one-on-one support and resources that you need to quit.
Most of us know how tobacco use hurts our health, but quitting can be a challenge. After all, it’s a permanent lifestyle change. However, a combination of behavioral therapy and medication has been proven to dramatically increase the chance of success.
The Cleveland Clinic Tobacco Treatment Clinic is based on the latest scientific knowledge. We can help you understand all the treatment options available and create a customized plan to help you quit successfully.
How does it work?
- You’ll start by meeting with a certified smoking cessation specialist. You’ll learn how much you depend on nicotine, how ready you are to quit, and discuss your preferred method of learning.
- Your specialist will develop a personalized treatment plan for you. This will include tobacco treatment medication such as Chantix, Zyban and Nicotine Replacement Therapy (NRT) and behavioral therapy, which may include reading material, web-based programs and individual or group counseling.
- The specialist will stay in touch with you to check on your progress, find out how well treatment is working for
you -- and celebrate your successes.
What will it cost?
If you have the Cleveland Clinic Employee Health Plan, the daily cost of the program is far less than the cost of a pack of cigarettes.
