It is a fact that individuals in rehab for substance abuse are much more likely to smoke tobacco, 75 percent in fact. With that being said few facilities 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 stay sober from drugs and alcohol. As a result, there are 'smoking not allowed' drug rehab centers in Athens that enforce a smoking ban and most of them also offer nicotine addiction treatment.
While total bans on smoking are definitely not the norm, more and more facilities are starting to enforce their own bans, but also state and local tobacco-free workplace mandates attempt to make rehabs 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. Implementing a smoking ban may deter potential clients who smoke starting treatment. At the same time it will help those who do choose a smoking not allowed alcohol and/or drug addiction rehab center be better able to get sober in a completely drug and addiction free environment.
