It is a known fact that individuals in treatment for substance abuse are more likely to smoke tobacco, 75 percent in fact. As such very few facilities address the problem as a main addiction, despite the fact that helping individuals stop smoking tobacco while in rehab is associated with a 25% greater chance the individual will remain sober from alcohol and drugs. As a result, there are 'smoking not allowed' drug rehab centers in Akron that implement a smoking ban and most of them also provide treatment for nicotine addiction.
While complete bans on smoking are definitely not the norm, an increasing number of rehabs are starting to enforce their own bans, but also state and local tobacco-free workplace mandates angle 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 smoking ban may deter potential clients who smoke starting treatment. In the meantime, it will help those who do choose a smoking not allowed alcohol and/or drug addiction rehab facility be better able to get sober in a completely drug and addiction free environment.
