It is a known fact that clients in rehabilitation for alcohol and/or drug addiction are more likely to smoke tobacco, 75 percent in fact. With that being said few programs handle the situation as a main addiction, even though the fact that helping clients stop smoking while in rehab is associated with a 25% higher chance the client will stay sober from alcohol and drugs. As a result, there are 'smoking not allowed' drug treatment programs in Andover that enforce a smoking ban and most of them also offer nicotine addiction treatment.
While total bans on smoking are definitely not the norm, more and more programs 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 implement facility policies that are already legally in place and enforced legally by state and local agencies. Implementing a smoking ban may make hesitant potential clients who smoke starting treatment. In the meantime, it will help those who do choose a no smoking substance abuse rehab center be better able to get sober in a completely addiction and drug free environment.
