HYPNOSIS

The use of hypnotherapy for substance use disorders has been most studied as an aid in the cessation of cigarette smoking, with its usual goal being to implant unconscious suggestions that will deter use of a substance, such as "smoking will be unpleasant." Despite the widespread use of hypnosis in this context, there is little scientific validation to support its effectiveness in the treatment of nicotine dependence.

Hypnosis or hypnotherapy is one of the most widespread and standard forms of treatment provided by Los Angeles and Orange County alternative care professionals.
