Capital Region Medical Center will host a smoking-cessation session on Feb. 1 in the Viewpoint Conference Room at Capital Region Southwest Campus, 1432 Southwest Blvd.
Sessions will be performed by professionals from the Leslie-Cam Stop Smoking Center.
Auriculotherapy is a smoking-cessation technique that enables an individual to avoid the acute withdrawal normally associated with going cold turkey. An electrical stimulus is sent to the nerve endings on the outside of both ears. When finished, participants will have little or no urge to smoke. The procedure itself is painless and takes only minutes to perform. It is asked that you not have any nicotine two hours before the treatment.
Plan on being at the treatment site for a maximum of one hour. During that time, participants will be educated about the treatment, complete paperwork, have your ears prepped and receive the auriculotherapy. Eighty-five percent of patients are successful with only one treatment. Your desire to discontinue nicotine use is not necessary for a successful result; all forms of nicotine addiction are treated.
Cost for this program is $122.
