“Triple Track Treatment uses methods that have been effective in the treatment of other substance use disorders, such as alcohol and pain pills, but have not frequently been applied to nicotine.”
GEORGE KOLODNER, M.D., TRIPLE TRACK FOUNDER & MEDICAL DIRECTOR
A Novel Approach
We use medication to ease your withdrawal discomfort, psychotherapy to resolve your indecision, and group support to reduce isolation.
Our Comprehensive Program Works on Three Tracks
Our psychotherapy model focuses on the internal conflict about using nicotine.
1
We prescribe medications to reduce or eliminate withdrawal symptoms, including cravings, and to prevent relapse.
2
We use group therapy to provide interpersonal support and focus on the role of family, friends, and others in the recovery community.
