It is a known fact that people in treatment for drug and alcohol addiction are more likely to be smokers, 75% in fact. As such few programs handle the situation as a primary addiction, despite the fact that helping clients stop smoking during treatment is associated with a 25 percent higher chance the individual will remain sober from alcohol and drugs. As a result, there are 'smoking not allowed' drug treatment programs in Malta that enforce a smoking ban and most of them also provide treatment for nicotine addiction.
While complete bans on smoking are definitely not normal, more and more centers are starting to enforce 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 enforce facility policies that are already legally in place and enforced legally by state and local agencies. Enforcing a smoking ban may make hesitant potential clients who smoke starting treatment. At the same time it will help those who do choose a no smoking substance abuse rehab facility be better able to get sober in a completely drug and addiction free environment.
