Smoking Not Allowed - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Facilities - Reading, MA.

It is a fact that people in rehabilitation for substance abuse are much more likely to smoke tobacco, 75% in fact. With that being said very few programs address the situation as a primary addiction, despite the fact that helping people stop smoking while in treatment is associated with a 25% higher possibility the client will remain sober from alcohol and drugs. As a result, there are 'smoking not allowed' drug treatment programs in Reading 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, more and more rehabs are beginning to implement their own bans, but also state and local tobacco-free workplace mandates angle to make rehabs completely smoke-free environments. In doing so, they avoid 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 smoking ban may make hesitant potential clients who smoke starting treatment. At the same time it will help those who do choose a no smoking alcohol and/or drug addiction rehab center be better able to recover in a completely addiction and drug free environment.
