Our program is the oldest active program in the United States (since 1987). We work with smokers who have tried everything to stop smoking.  We admit only one person per program.  You receive our full attention.

 

The program begins late Monday afternoon and ends before noon the following Friday. We pick you put at the Palm Beach International Airport and return you after the program.

 

The cost is $3200.00 and includes your room, meals, books and the program.  There is a $500 deposit required.  We facilitate the program at the Palm Beach Ocean Hotel in Palm Beach, FL. Your room overlooks the pool and Atlantic Ocean.

There's never a good time to stop smoking.   One hundred thousand people die from smoking related diseases every year. Whatever program you use, please do not put this off.

 

Common questions:

How many people are in a group? Our program is for the person who has tried everything else to stop smoking without success. There are no groups. Due to the seriousness of nicotine addiction a client needs our full attention. You will be the only person here.

Don't you need other people in a group for support? That's fine during the program as long as everyone gets along.  Also, after the program everyone goes their own way.  Your supports need to be developed with friends and family at home.  We help you do that.

Is four-days long enough? Yes, absolutely if you are in an in-depth program.  There are longer programs, but there aren't any better programs. We use your valuable time to treat your nicotine addiction.

Do I need to be locked up? It's a common belief that you have to be put away to protect yourself from yourself. You can’t be locked away forever. What you need is a program that gives you the skills and coping mechanisms to stay smoke free in the real world.

Do you use medications such as the patch? No. Replacement therapy such as the patch is beneficial to some, however it does not address the addiction and without treatment a smoker is subject to relapse.  Often people overdose from wearing the patch and smoking at the same time.

 

Nicotine has antidepressant properties, therefore I sometimes suggest an antidepressant medication such as Wellbutrin (Zyban). Ask your doctor for advise.
