Nicotine Addiction Therapy in Austin, TX

One of every two smokers dies from smoking, but on the positive side it is relaxing and helps the smoker cope with stress. The costs seem greater than the benefits, and most people who use nicotine try to quit. Sadly, most relapse.

To escape nicotine addiction, giving up smoking, snuff, or other forms of tobacco consumption is not sufficient. You must also prevent relapse. The clinicians at Psychological ARTS specialize in the treatment of incentive use disorders, with a particular interest in nicotine cessation. Over the past 25+ years providing nicotine addiction therapy in Austin and Central Texas, they have developed tools and methods to facilitate good long-term outcome. Many nicotine cessation tools including hypnotherapy audio downloads are available free of charge on this web site.

Hypnotherapy for smoking and nicotine cessation is the most effective method to help people quit using nicotine, and many report that the acute withdrawal period was effortless. To sample this approach you may download a free Nicotine Cessation Audio File. Understand this: The real challenge is preventing relapse. Outcome research shows that the relapse rates for smoking cessation programs and nicotine replacement therapy are typically 80 - 90%. So, in addition to hypnosis for smoking cessation [diagnosis for snuff users], we have developed effective methods for relapse prevention.

Our nicotine addiction treatment program consists of an individual two-hour session with Dr. Bill Dubin and an extensive self-guided kit: The Path of Greatest Advantage. The therapy session is split between hypnotherapy to promote nicotine cessation and cognitive behavior therapy methods to prevent relapse. The fee for this program is $280. For more information, or to schedule an appointment, please call our office (512) 343-8307. Smokers and nicotine users who do not live in Central Texas may purchase our self-guided treatment manual for incentive use disorders - see below.
