It is a fact that clients in rehab for drug and alcohol addiction are much more likely to smoke tobacco, 75% in fact. With that being said very few facilities handle the problem as a primary addiction, despite the fact that helping people stop smoking tobacco while in rehab is associated with a 25 percent greater chance the client will remain free from substance abuse. As a result, there are 'smoking not allowed' drug rehabilitation programs in Norway that implement a smoking ban and most of them also provide nicotine addiction treatment.
While complete bans on smoking are definitely not the norm, more and more centers are starting to implement their own bans, but also state and local tobacco-free workplace mandates attempt to make facilities completely smoke free. In doing so, they 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 addiction and drug free environment.
