depends on the person. for those types of treatments hypnosis is best for getting "over the hump"

so if your main trouble for say quitting smoking was getting past the first few days, hypnosis would be a great option. a good hypnotherapist will make those cigarettes taste like urine.

but if the problem is staying a quitter a month down the road hypnosis won't be near as effective (although it might still help, especially if you repeat your hypnotic sessions fairly often.
