Smoking Not Allowed - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Facilities - Southport, ME.

It is a fact that individuals in rehabilitation for substance abuse are much more likely to smoke tobacco, 75 percent in fact. With that being said very few programs address the problem as a primary addiction, despite the fact that helping clients quit smoking while in treatment is associated with a 25 percent greater chance they will remain sober from alcohol and drugs. As a result, there are 'smoking not allowed' drug rehabilitation facilities in Southport that implement a smoking ban and most of them also offer treatment for nicotine addiction.

While total bans on smoking are not normal, an increasing number of rehabs are beginning to implement their own bans, but also state and local tobacco-free workplace mandates angle to make facilities completely smoke free. In so doing, they 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 deter potential clients who smoke starting treatment. In the meantime, it will help those who do choose a no smoking substance abuse rehab facility be better able to get sober in a completely addiction and drug free environment.
