Smoking Not Allowed - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Facilities - Portsmouth, IA.

It is a fact that individuals in treatment for alcohol and/or drug addiction are much more likely to be smokers, 75 percent in fact. As such very few facilities handle the situation as a primary addiction, despite the fact that helping people quit smoking while in treatment is associated with a 25 percent greater chance they will stay sober from drugs and alcohol. Because of this, there are 'smoking not allowed' drug treatment facilities in Portsmouth that enforce a smoking ban and most of them also offer treatment for nicotine addiction.

While complete smoking bans are not normal, more and more facilities are actually beginning to enforce their own bans, but also state and local tobacco-free workplace mandates attempt to make facilities completely smoke free. In so doing, these mandates avoid the need to develop and enforce facility policies that are already legally in place and enforced legally by state and local agencies. Implementing a complete ban on smoking may make hesitant potential clients who smoke starting treatment. In the meantime, it will help those who do choose a smoking not allowed alcohol and/or drug addiction rehab program be better able to recover in a completely drug and addiction free environment.
