It is a known fact that people in treatment for alcohol and/or drug addiction are much more likely to smoke tobacco, 75% in fact. As such very few centers address the situation as a primary addiction, even though the fact that helping people stop smoking tobacco while in treatment is associated with a 25% higher chance they will remain sober from alcohol and drugs. Because of this, there are 'smoking not allowed' drug treatment centers in Thatcher that implement a smoking ban and most of them also offer treatment for nicotine addiction.
While complete smoking bans are definitely not the norm, more and more rehabs are actually starting to implement their own bans, but also state and local tobacco-free workplace mandates attempt to make facilities completely smoke free. In so doing, these mandates 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 smoking ban may deter potential clients who smoke starting treatment. In the meantime, it will help those who do choose a no smoking drug and alcohol addiction rehab program be better able to recover in a completely addiction and drug free environment.
