It is a known fact that people in treatment for substance abuse are more likely to be smokers, 75 percent in fact. As such few programs handle the situation as a primary addiction, even though the fact that helping clients quit smoking tobacco during treatment is associated with a 25 percent greater possibility the client will remain free from substance abuse. As a result, there are 'smoking not allowed' drug treatment facilities in Billerica that enforce a smoking ban and most of them also offer nicotine addiction treatment.
While total smoking bans are not the norm, an increasing number of rehabs are actually starting to implement their own bans, but also state and local tobacco-free workplace mandates angle to make rehabs completely smoke free. In doing so, 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. Enforcing a ban on smoking may make hesitant potential clients who smoke starting treatment. At the same time it will help those who do choose a smoking not allowed substance abuse rehab facility be better able to get sober in a completely addiction and drug free environment.
