It is a fact that clients in treatment for alcohol and/or drug addiction are more likely to be smokers, 75% in fact. With that being said very few programs address the problem as a primary addiction, even though the fact that helping individuals stop smoking tobacco while in rehab is associated with a 25% greater chance the client will remain free from substance abuse. Because of this, there are 'smoking not allowed' drug rehabilitation programs in Palm Harbor that enforce a smoking ban and most of them also offer nicotine addiction treatment.
While total bans on smoking are not the norm, more and more centers are beginning to implement their own bans, but also state and local tobacco-free workplace mandates angle to make rehabs completely smoke-free environments. 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 make hesitant potential clients who smoke starting treatment. In the meantime, it will help those who do choose a no smoking substance abuse rehab program be better able to recover in a completely drug and addiction free environment.
