It is a fact that individuals in rehabilitation for substance abuse are more likely to smoke tobacco, 75% in fact. With that being said few centers handle the situation as a primary addiction, despite the fact that helping individuals stop smoking while in treatment is associated with a 25% greater chance the individual will stay sober from drugs and alcohol. As a result, there are 'smoking not allowed' drug treatment facilities in Damariscotta that implement a smoking ban and most of them also offer nicotine addiction treatment.
While total bans on smoking are definitely not the norm, more and more facilities are actually beginning to implement their own bans, but also state and local tobacco-free workplace mandates attempt to make facilities completely smoke-free environments. In doing so, 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 smoking ban may deter potential clients who smoke starting treatment. At the same time it will help those who do choose a no smoking substance abuse rehab program be better able to recover in a completely addiction and drug free environment.
