Why is the Aurora Centre tobacco-free?
Tobacco-related diseases are the leading cause of death in patients previously treated for alcoholism and/or other non-nicotine drugs of dependence. The Aurora Centre is determined to reduce illness and the incidence of premature death in women caused by tobacco products. On average, 75% of women who attend Aurora treatment programs have smoked cigarettes, and they consistently identify nicotine as one of their three most problematic drugs. Research evidence shows that abstinence from use of tobacco significantly increases clients’ chances of maintaining long-term abstinence from other mood-altering substances. This is a unique opportunity to attend treatment in a safe and supportive environment where staff is dedicated to supporting clients to remain abstinent from tobacco. The comprehensive support we offer includes free nicotine replacement therapy, for example the patch or gum.
