It is a fact that clients in rehabilitation for substance abuse are more likely to be smokers, 75% in fact. As such few facilities address the problem as a primary addiction, despite the fact that helping clients stop smoking tobacco while in rehab is associated with a 25% higher possibility the client will remain sober from drugs and alcohol. Because of this, there are 'smoking not allowed' drug treatment facilities in Riverdale that enforce a smoking ban and most of them also offer treatment for nicotine addiction.
While total bans on smoking are not the norm, more and more rehabs 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 enforce facility policies that are already legally in place and enforced legally by state and local agencies. Implementing a ban on smoking may deter potential clients who smoke starting treatment. At the same time it will help those who do choose a no smoking substance abuse rehab program be better able to get sober in a completely addiction and drug free environment.
