It is a fact that clients in treatment for alcohol and/or drug addiction are much more likely to be smokers, 75% in fact. As such few centers address the situation as a primary addiction, even though the fact that helping people quit smoking tobacco during treatment is associated with a 25% greater chance the individual will stay free from substance abuse. As a result, there are 'smoking not allowed' drug treatment facilities in Arcadia that implement a smoking ban and most of them also provide nicotine addiction treatment.
While total smoking bans are not normal, more and more programs are actually starting 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 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 ban on smoking 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 drug and addiction free environment.
