It is a fact that clients in rehabilitation for drug and alcohol addiction are more likely to smoke tobacco, 75% in fact. As such very few centers handle the situation as a main addiction, despite the fact that helping individuals stop smoking tobacco while in rehab is associated with a 25 percent greater chance the individual will remain sober from alcohol and drugs. As a result, there are 'smoking not allowed' drug treatment centers in Barnstable Town that enforce a smoking ban and most of them also provide nicotine addiction treatment.
While complete bans on smoking are not normal, more and more centers are beginning to enforce their own bans, but also state and local tobacco-free workplace mandates angle to make facilities completely smoke free. In so doing, these mandates 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 smoking ban may make hesitant potential clients who smoke starting treatment. In the meantime, it will help those who do choose a no smoking alcohol and/or drug addiction rehab program be better able to recover in a completely drug and addiction free environment.
