The STOP Clinic uses a comprehensive approach to smoking cessation that addresses both the physical and mental aspects of nicotine addiction.

Our program combines auricular therapy (electrical stimulation), counseling, education, behavior modification techniques and follow-up support to help reduce cravings and withdrawal symptoms and make the process of becoming smoke-free as easy as possible.

We have helped people quit smoking since 1992, with clients coming from Raleigh, Cary, Durham, and throughout North Carolina.

We use an ancient Chinese Protocol for “Rapid Drug Detox”, stimulating the vagus nerve (aka the Tenth Cranial Nerve) which causes our body to passively release endorphins (our body’s own natural healing hormones) to block cravings and withdrawal symptoms.

Endorphins are neurotransmitters in the central and peripheral nervous system, which act as chemical messengers to block pain signals and bind to opioid receptors.

During the treatment, we use a small probe to stimulate nerve endings in the outer part of the ear. The treatment is non-invasive, relaxing and calming. Many people fall asleep during the treatment.

During our complimentary consultation, we explain our program and what you can expect during your program. We help you prepare for your non-smoking journey..

No.

The electrical stimulation is mild, comforting and relaxing.

You may notice a gentle warming sensation during treatment. Many clients describe feeling deeply relaxed, and some even fall asleep during their session.

The STOP Clinic’s smoking cessation program is designed as a rapid drug treatment approach.

The first treatment blocks the cravings and withdrawal symptoms. Prior to the first visit, we send Behavior Modification Exercises to help you address the mental part of your addiction (which is at least 50% of any addiction).

Visits 2 and 3 serve to offer you reinforcement and ongoing support.
