Smoking Not Allowed - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Centers - Mercer, MO.

It is a fact that people in treatment for alcohol and/or drug addiction are much more likely to be smokers, 75 percent in fact. With that being said very few centers handle the situation as a primary addiction, despite the fact that helping individuals quit smoking tobacco during treatment is associated with a 25 percent greater possibility they will stay free from substance abuse. As a result, there are 'smoking not allowed' drug rehab facilities in Mercer that implement a smoking ban and most of them also offer treatment for nicotine addiction.

While complete bans on smoking are definitely not the norm, an increasing number of programs are actually starting to enforce their own bans, but also state and local tobacco-free workplace mandates attempt to make facilities completely smoke-free environments. In doing so, these mandates 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 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 alcohol and/or drug addiction rehab center be better able to recover in a completely drug and addiction free environment.
