It is a known fact that clients in rehab for substance abuse are much more likely to be smokers, 75% in fact. As such few centers address the problem as a primary addiction, despite the fact that helping individuals quit smoking during rehab is associated with a 25 percent greater possibility they will stay sober from drugs and alcohol. As a result, there are 'smoking not allowed' drug treatment facilities in San Antonio that implement a smoking ban and most of them also offer nicotine addiction treatment.
While total smoking bans are not the norm, an increasing number of programs are actually beginning to implement their own bans, but also state and local tobacco-free workplace mandates angle to make facilities completely smoke free. In doing so, they 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 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 drug and alcohol addiction rehab facility be better able to get sober in a completely addiction and drug free environment.
