Smoking Not Allowed - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Facilities - Oakland, OR.

It is a known fact that clients in treatment for drug and alcohol addiction are more likely to be smokers, 75% in fact. As such very few programs address the problem as a main addiction, even though the fact that helping clients quit smoking tobacco while in treatment is associated with a 25 percent greater chance the individual will remain sober from drugs and alcohol. Because of this, there are 'smoking not allowed' drug treatment centers in Oakland that implement a smoking ban and most of them also provide nicotine addiction treatment.

While total smoking bans are not normal, more and more programs 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 doing so, they avoid the need to develop and implement facility policies that are already legally in place and enforced legally by state and local agencies. Enforcing a ban on smoking may make hesitant potential clients who smoke starting treatment. In the meantime, it will help those who do choose a smoking not allowed substance abuse rehab program be better able to get sober in a completely addiction and drug free environment.
