Nao Medical

Tobacco cessation treatment in NYC

Quit-planning, medication discussion, counseling support, and follow-up for cigarettes, vaping, nicotine pouches, and other tobacco or nicotine use.

Nicotine dependence is medical, behavioral, and routine-driven. A structured visit can review nicotine pattern, prior quit attempts, withdrawal symptoms, triggers, medication options, counseling support, and follow-up timing.

Nao Medical accepts many major insurance plans for addiction medicine and behavioral-health visits, including Medicaid, Medicare, Medicare Advantage, Healthfirst, MetroPlus, Fidelis, UnitedHealthcare, United Healthcare Community Plan, EmblemHealth, Aetna, Cigna, Blue Cross Blue Shield, and many commercial plans. Coverage can vary by visit type, testing, counseling, medication, pharmacy benefit, and prior authorization requirements, so benefit verification is still important before care begins.

Care should match the real situation The first step is a private review of safety, medication needs, counseling fit, insurance, and the follow-up plan that is realistic to keep.

Care options that can fit the next step

Addiction treatment is more useful when medication, counseling, testing, documentation, and follow-up are reviewed together.

Quit plan review

The visit can cover nicotine type, amount, timing, cravings, prior quit attempts, side effects, and a realistic quit date.

Medication discussion

Medication choices depend on pregnancy status, mental-health history, other medications, cardiovascular risk, and prior side effects.

Counseling and follow-up

Behavioral support can help with stress, habits, cravings, sleep, weight concerns, and relapse prevention.

Primary care backup

A primary-care visit can address cough, asthma, COPD risk, blood pressure, pregnancy, or other medical concerns tied to tobacco use.

What the visit can clarify

Vaping and pouches still count

Nicotine vaping and pouches can still cause dependence and withdrawal, even when smoke exposure is lower than cigarettes.

Relapse is part of the plan

A good quit plan expects cravings and setbacks, then adjusts medication, routines, support, and follow-up instead of treating relapse as failure.

Insurance may help

Coverage for visits, counseling, nicotine replacement, and prescriptions varies by plan, so benefits should be checked.

Book an addiction medicine visit

If symptoms are severe, withdrawal feels unsafe, there is overdose risk, or a person may hurt themselves or someone else, call 911 or go to the nearest emergency room. Addiction medicine visits are not a substitute for emergency care.
