It is a fact that clients in treatment for substance abuse are much more likely to be smokers, 75% in fact. With that being said few facilities handle the problem as a main addiction, even though the fact that helping people stop smoking during treatment is associated with a 25 percent greater chance they will remain sober from alcohol and drugs. As a result, there are 'smoking not allowed' drug treatment facilities in Rockford that implement a smoking ban and most of them also offer treatment for nicotine addiction.
While complete bans on smoking are definitely not normal, an increasing number of centers are beginning to implement 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. Enforcing a complete ban on smoking may deter potential clients who smoke starting treatment. In the meantime, it will help those who do choose a smoking not allowed substance abuse rehab program be better able to recover in a completely addiction and drug free environment.
