Smoking Not Allowed - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Facilities - Portland, PA.

It is a fact that people in rehabilitation for drug and alcohol addiction are much more likely to be smokers, 75% in fact. With that being said very few programs address the situation as a primary addiction, despite the fact that helping people quit smoking tobacco during treatment is associated with a 25% higher chance the client will stay sober from drugs and alcohol. Because of this, there are 'smoking not allowed' drug treatment programs in Portland that implement a smoking ban and most of them also provide treatment for nicotine addiction.

While complete bans on smoking are definitely not the norm, an increasing number of centers are actually 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, these mandates bypass the need to develop and implement 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 smoking not allowed substance abuse rehab program be better able to get sober in a completely addiction and drug free environment.
