Smoking Not Allowed - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Facilities - Portlandville, NY.

It is a known fact that individuals in treatment for alcohol and/or drug addiction are more likely to be smokers, 75 percent in fact. As such few programs handle the situation as a primary addiction, even though the fact that helping people quit smoking during treatment is associated with a 25% higher chance they will remain sober from alcohol and drugs. Because of this, there are 'smoking not allowed' drug treatment centers in Portlandville that implement a smoking ban and most of them also offer nicotine addiction treatment.

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