The program includes a comprehensive health screening, counseling, and access to both NRT and non-NRT medications like varenicline and bupropion. We will also notify your primary care provider if needed and provide you with resources like the Virginia Quit Line.

- Non-NRTs: Bupropion and varenicline are prescribed based on a step-up dosing schedule to ensure maximum effectiveness and minimize side effects.
The duration of treatment varies by individual but typically lasts around 8-12 weeks. In some cases, treatment can be extended up to 24 weeks, depending on progress and the type of medication used.
