Smoking Not Allowed - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Programs - Alexandria, MO.

It is a fact that individuals in rehabilitation for alcohol and/or drug addiction are much more likely to smoke tobacco, 75% in fact. With that being said few centers address the problem as a main addiction, even though the fact that helping people stop smoking tobacco while in treatment is associated with a 25 percent higher chance they will stay sober from alcohol and drugs. Because of this, there are 'smoking not allowed' drug treatment facilities in Alexandria that implement a smoking ban and most of them also offer treatment for nicotine addiction.

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