It is a known fact that individuals in treatment for drug and alcohol addiction are much more likely to be smokers, 75% in fact. As such few facilities handle the problem as a primary addiction, despite the fact that helping clients quit smoking during treatment is associated with a 25 percent greater possibility they will stay sober from drugs and alcohol. Because of this, there are 'smoking not allowed' drug treatment programs in Magazine that implement a smoking ban and most of them also provide nicotine addiction treatment.
While complete bans on smoking are definitely not normal, more and more rehabs are starting to enforce their own bans, but also state and local tobacco-free workplace mandates angle to make facilities completely smoke free. In so doing, these mandates avoid the need to develop and implement facility policies that are already legally in place and enforced legally by state and local agencies. Implementing a ban on smoking may deter potential clients who smoke starting treatment. In the meantime, it will help those who do choose a no smoking substance abuse rehab center be better able to get sober in a completely addiction and drug free environment.
