Ozarks Healthcare's smoking cessation program helps individuals understand the addiction process, evaluate their best avenue for becoming nicotine free, and offers support as they create a plan for quitting and remaining addiction-free. Smokers require an individualized plan that accommodates their personal environment and physical needs. Cessation can sometimes require multiple attempts, which is why Ozarks Healthcare follows participants for a full year to provide ongoing support to help participants remain in a nicotine-free state.
