It is a known fact that individuals in rehabilitation for alcohol and/or drug addiction are more likely to be smokers, 75% in fact. As such very few programs address the problem as a primary addiction, even though the fact that helping clients quit smoking during rehab is associated with a 25% greater possibility the individual will remain sober from alcohol and drugs. Because of this, there are 'smoking not allowed' drug treatment programs in Petersburg that enforce a smoking ban and most of them also offer nicotine addiction treatment.
While complete bans on smoking are not normal, an increasing number of rehabs are starting to enforce their own bans, but also state and local tobacco-free workplace mandates angle 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 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.
