It is a known fact that individuals in rehabilitation for substance abuse are more likely to smoke tobacco, 75 percent in fact. As such few centers handle the problem as a primary addiction, even though the fact that helping individuals quit smoking tobacco during treatment is associated with a 25% higher possibility the individual will remain sober from alcohol and drugs. As a result, there are 'smoking not allowed' drug rehabilitation facilities in Livermore Falls that implement a smoking ban and most of them also offer treatment for nicotine addiction.
While total bans on smoking are not the norm, an increasing number of rehabs are actually starting to enforce their own bans, but also state and local tobacco-free workplace mandates attempt to make rehabs completely smoke free. In doing so, these mandates 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 no smoking substance abuse rehab program be better able to recover in a completely drug and addiction free environment.
