It is a fact that individuals in treatment for drug and alcohol addiction are much more likely to smoke tobacco, 75% in fact. With that being said very few centers address the situation as a primary addiction, even though the fact that helping clients stop smoking during rehab is associated with a 25 percent greater possibility the client will remain sober from drugs and alcohol. As a result, there are 'smoking not allowed' drug treatment programs in Rockland that enforce a smoking ban and most of them also offer nicotine addiction treatment.
While complete smoking bans 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 attempt to make facilities 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. Enforcing a smoking ban may make hesitant potential clients who smoke starting treatment. At the same time it will help those who do choose a no smoking alcohol and/or drug addiction rehab center be better able to get sober in a completely drug and addiction free environment.
