It is a fact that individuals in treatment for drug and alcohol addiction are much more likely to be smokers, 75 percent in fact. As such few programs handle the situation as a main addiction, despite the fact that helping people quit smoking tobacco while in treatment is associated with a 25% greater chance the client will remain free from substance abuse. As a result, there are 'smoking not allowed' drug rehabilitation centers in Houghton 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 centers are beginning to implement their own bans, but also state and local tobacco-free workplace mandates angle to make rehabs completely smoke-free environments. In so doing, they avoid the need to develop and implement facility policies that are already legally in place and enforced legally by state and local agencies. Implementing a complete smoking ban may deter potential clients who smoke starting treatment. In the meantime, it will help those who do choose a no smoking alcohol and/or drug addiction rehab center be better able to get sober in a completely addiction and drug free environment.
