It is a known fact that people in rehabilitation for substance abuse are much more likely to smoke tobacco, 75% in fact. As such few centers handle the problem as a main addiction, despite the fact that helping clients stop smoking tobacco while in rehab is associated with a 25 percent greater possibility the client will stay sober from drugs and alcohol. As a result, there are 'smoking not allowed' drug rehab programs in Ware that implement a smoking ban and most of them also offer nicotine addiction treatment.
While complete bans on smoking are definitely not the norm, more and more centers are actually beginning to implement their own bans, but also state and local tobacco-free workplace mandates attempt to make facilities completely smoke-free environments. 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 complete ban on smoking 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 program be better able to get sober in a completely drug and addiction free environment.
