Smoking Not Allowed - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Centers - Merrifield, VA.

It is a known fact that people in treatment for drug and alcohol addiction are more likely to be smokers, 75% in fact. As such few centers handle the problem as a primary addiction, even though the fact that helping clients quit smoking tobacco during rehab is associated with a 25 percent greater chance they will stay sober from alcohol and drugs. Because of this, there are 'smoking not allowed' drug treatment programs in Merrifield that enforce a smoking ban and most of them also offer treatment for nicotine addiction.

While total smoking bans are not normal, an increasing number of programs are actually beginning 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, 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 smoking ban may make hesitant potential clients who smoke starting treatment. At the same time it will help those who do choose a no smoking drug and alcohol addiction rehab facility be better able to recover in a completely addiction and drug free environment.
