Smoking & Substance Use Policy
As part of the recovery process, Innova Joy wants you to reboot your teen’s system physically and mentally to produce the best of them. Research has been conducted that illustrates how our gut affects the brain, which in turn regulates our emotions.
As Innova Joy aims to help improve the condition in your teen’s gut to regulate their emotions better, we have a no tobacco or substance use policy. No smoking or vaping is permitted. We believe this will help in providing them with the optimal situation to begin their journey to recovery at our therapy location.
