Program Overview
StopCold is the first comprehensive recovery management program for smoking cessation. Incorporating innovative practice-wide initiatives, StopCold is both simple and effective. Furthermore, the proprietary StopCold treatment method incorporates creative solutions to the common challenges associated with permanent smoking cessation, including the following:
- Although patients trust their doctors and want to follow their advice, physicians repeatedly offer a quit smoking recommendation with little success.
- Tobacco and nicotine are addictive substances.
- Patients struggle to quit smoking on their own. In fact, only 1% do so successfully each year.
- Even with prescription therapies, patients still struggle to quit smoking.
- Although success is tripled if counseling is provided in conjunction with medication, current time constraints make it difficult for physicians to assist with ongoing behavior modification.
Designed by a physician for physicians, StopCold was specifically created to overcome the above obstacles and deliver permanent results. Combined with patient-tailored protocols and interventions, the StopCold program offers a unique blend of innovative therapies and traditional treatment in the context of ongoing physician and counselor support.
