It is a fact that people in rehabilitation for drug and alcohol addiction are more likely to be smokers, 75% in fact. As such very few centers handle the problem as a main addiction, even though the fact that helping people quit smoking during rehab is associated with a 25% greater chance the client will stay sober from drugs and alcohol. Because of this, there are 'smoking not allowed' drug rehab programs in Alpena that implement a smoking ban and most of them also offer treatment for nicotine addiction.
While complete bans on smoking are definitely not the norm, an increasing number of rehabs are actually beginning to implement their own bans, but also state and local tobacco-free workplace mandates attempt to make rehabs completely smoke free. In so doing, these mandates bypass the need to develop and implement facility policies that are already legally in place and enforced legally by state and local agencies. Implementing a complete smoking ban may deter potential clients who smoke starting treatment. At the same time it will help those who do choose a smoking not allowed substance abuse rehab program be better able to recover in a completely drug and addiction free environment.
