It is a known fact that clients in treatment for drug and alcohol addiction are much more likely to smoke tobacco, 75 percent in fact. As such very few centers handle the problem as a main addiction, despite the fact that helping clients stop smoking during treatment is associated with a 25% higher chance the client will stay sober from alcohol and drugs. Because of this, there are 'smoking not allowed' drug rehab centers in Athens that implement a smoking ban and most of them also provide treatment for nicotine addiction.
While complete bans on smoking are not the norm, more and more programs are beginning to enforce their own bans, but also state and local tobacco-free workplace mandates attempt to make rehabs completely smoke-free environments. In so doing, they avoid 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 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.
