It is a fact that clients in rehab for substance abuse are much more likely to smoke tobacco, 75% in fact. As such very few facilities address the problem as a primary addiction, even though the fact that helping individuals stop smoking while in treatment is associated with a 25 percent higher possibility the individual will stay sober from alcohol and drugs. Because of this, there are 'smoking not allowed' drug treatment centers in Luzerne that enforce a smoking ban and most of them also offer nicotine addiction treatment.
While total smoking bans are not the norm, an increasing number of rehabs are beginning to enforce 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 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 make hesitant potential clients who smoke starting treatment. In the meantime, it will help those who do choose a no smoking substance abuse rehab center be better able to recover in a completely drug and addiction free environment.
