Smoking Not Allowed - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Centers - Penobscot, ME.

It is a known 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 handle the problem as a main addiction, even though the fact that helping clients quit smoking tobacco during rehab is associated with a 25 percent greater chance they will remain free from substance abuse. As a result, there are 'smoking not allowed' drug rehabilitation programs in Penobscot that enforce a smoking ban and most of them also provide treatment for nicotine addiction.

While total bans on smoking are not normal, an increasing number of facilities are actually starting to implement their own bans, but also state and local tobacco-free workplace mandates attempt to make rehabs completely smoke-free environments. In doing so, they avoid the need to develop and enforce facility policies that are already legally in place and enforced legally by state and local agencies. Enforcing a complete smoking ban may make hesitant potential clients who smoke starting treatment. In the meantime, it will help those who do choose a no smoking alcohol and/or drug addiction rehab program be better able to recover in a completely addiction and drug free environment.
