CRUSH the Craving
Crush the Craving is a six-month, individualized nicotine-free support program designed to help people take control of their nicotine use and build a healthier future—one craving, one choice, and one day at a time.
At CRUSH Recovery Community Center, we understand that quitting nicotine is different for everyone. That’s why Crush the Craving is designed around each participant’s individual needs, goals, and readiness for change.
Participants receive personalized support from a Nicotine Replacement Specialist, access to nicotine education and cessation resources, and practical tools to help manage cravings, stress, triggers, and everyday challenges. When appropriate, participants can also receive nicotine replacement therapy (NRT) and connections to additional cessation resources.
