It is a fact that people in rehabilitation for drug and alcohol addiction are more likely to smoke tobacco, 75 percent in fact. With that being said very few centers handle the problem as a primary addiction, despite the fact that helping clients stop smoking tobacco while in treatment is associated with a 25 percent higher chance they will stay sober from drugs and alcohol. As a result, there are 'smoking not allowed' drug rehab facilities in Durham that enforce a smoking ban and most of them also provide nicotine addiction treatment.
While complete smoking bans are definitely not normal, more and more facilities are 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, they avoid 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 program be better able to get sober in a completely addiction and drug free environment.
