It is a known fact that individuals in treatment for drug and alcohol addiction are more likely to smoke tobacco, 75% in fact. With that being said very few programs handle the situation as a main addiction, even though the fact that helping clients quit smoking tobacco while in treatment is associated with a 25 percent higher chance the client will remain free from substance abuse. As a result, there are 'smoking not allowed' drug treatment facilities in Amherst that enforce a smoking ban and most of them also offer treatment for nicotine addiction.
While complete smoking bans are definitely not the norm, an increasing number of programs are starting to enforce their own bans, but also state and local tobacco-free workplace mandates angle to make facilities completely smoke-free environments. In doing so, they bypass the need to develop and enforce facility policies that are already legally in place and enforced legally by state and local agencies. Implementing a 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 program be better able to recover in a completely drug and addiction free environment.
