Smoking Not Allowed - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Facilities - Amherst, NE.

It is a fact that individuals in treatment for substance abuse are much more likely to be smokers, 75 percent in fact. As such few programs handle the situation as a main addiction, even though the fact that helping individuals quit smoking tobacco during rehab is associated with a 25 percent greater possibility they will remain sober from alcohol and drugs. As a result, there are 'smoking not allowed' drug rehabilitation programs in Amherst that implement a smoking ban and most of them also provide treatment for nicotine addiction.

While total smoking bans are not the norm, an increasing number of centers are actually beginning to implement their own bans, but also state and local tobacco-free workplace mandates angle to make rehabs completely smoke-free environments. In so doing, these mandates avoid the need to develop and enforce facility policies that are already legally in place and enforced legally by state and local agencies. Implementing a complete ban on smoking may deter potential clients who smoke starting treatment. At the same time it will help those who do choose a smoking not allowed substance abuse rehab program be better able to recover in a completely drug and addiction free environment.
