It is a known fact that individuals in rehab for alcohol and/or drug addiction are much more likely to smoke tobacco, 75 percent in fact. As such very few centers handle the situation as a primary addiction, even though the fact that helping people quit smoking tobacco during rehab 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 rehab facilities in St. Joseph that enforce a smoking ban and most of them also offer treatment for nicotine addiction.
While complete smoking bans are not normal, an increasing number of centers are actually starting to enforce their own bans, but also state and local tobacco-free workplace mandates attempt to make facilities 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. 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 get sober in a completely addiction and drug free environment.
