It is a fact that individuals in treatment for drug and alcohol addiction are more likely to smoke tobacco, 75 percent in fact. As such few programs handle the problem as a primary addiction, even though the fact that helping individuals stop smoking tobacco while in rehab is associated with a 25% higher chance they will remain sober from drugs and alcohol. As a result, there are 'smoking not allowed' drug treatment programs in Anna Maria that enforce a smoking ban and most of them also provide nicotine addiction treatment.
While total bans on smoking are definitely not normal, an increasing number of rehabs are starting to enforce their own bans, but also state and local tobacco-free workplace mandates angle to make rehabs completely smoke free. In doing so, these mandates avoid the need to develop and enforce 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. At the same time it will help those who do choose a no smoking alcohol and/or drug addiction rehab program be better able to get sober in a completely drug and addiction free environment.
