Time to kick the habit?
If you’re like 70% of smokers, you want to quit. You know it’s bad for your health. You don’t like the lingering odor. And, you’re tired of the controlling addiction.
Yet, you’ve tried to quit—several times—unsuccessfully.
At Holston Medical Group, we’re ready to help you “Kick it 4Good.”
Introducing Kick it 4Good
It’s difficult to quit on your own. Studies indicate a higher success rate when your “quit plan” includes two or more key components. Our physician-directed Kick it 4Good initiative includes six such components.
- Physician-directed, one-on-one coaching.
- Guidance in creating a "quit plan"
- 12-week behavioral modification with peer-to-peer support
- Prescription for pharmocologic therapy, if desired
- Referral for nutrition & weight management coaching, if desired
- 12 months of telephone support
