It is a known fact that people in rehab for drug and alcohol addiction are much more likely to smoke tobacco, 75 percent in fact. As such very few facilities address the problem as a primary addiction, despite the fact that helping individuals stop smoking during rehab is associated with a 25% greater chance they will stay sober from alcohol and drugs. Because of this, there are 'smoking not allowed' drug rehabilitation centers in Halifax that implement a smoking ban and most of them also offer nicotine addiction treatment.
While complete smoking bans are not the norm, more and more 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, 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 smoking ban may deter potential clients who smoke starting treatment. In the meantime, it will help those who do choose a smoking not allowed substance abuse rehab facility be better able to recover in a completely drug and addiction free environment.
