Smoking Not Allowed - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Programs - Sandy Spring, MD.

It is a known fact that clients in rehab for drug and alcohol addiction are much more likely to be smokers, 75% in fact. As such few programs address the problem as a main addiction, despite the fact that helping individuals quit smoking tobacco during rehab is associated with a 25% greater chance the client will stay sober from alcohol and drugs. Because of this, there are 'smoking not allowed' drug rehabilitation facilities in Sandy Spring that implement a smoking ban and most of them also offer treatment for nicotine addiction.

While complete bans on smoking are not the norm, more and more centers are beginning to implement their own bans, but also state and local tobacco-free workplace mandates attempt to make rehabs completely smoke free. In so doing, they bypass the need to develop and implement facility policies that are already legally in place and enforced legally by state and local agencies. Enforcing a complete ban on smoking may make hesitant potential clients who smoke starting treatment. At the same time it will help those who do choose a no smoking substance abuse rehab center be better able to get sober in a completely drug and addiction free environment.
