What are the basic components of the food and meal plans at Shades of Hope, and why are smoking and drinking forbidden?

[Meal plans are based on the] American Dietetic Association exchange system. Practicing eating breakfast, lunch, dinner and a snack.

In reference to smoking/drinking: it has never made sense to Shades of Hope, an all-addiction facility, to allow individuals to participate in addictions. It has been that way since Shades opened its doors. Smoking/nicotine is an addiction; caffeine is an addiction.

Next: Why are clients not allowed books, magazines or television?
