It is a known fact that people in rehabilitation for drug and alcohol addiction are more likely to smoke tobacco, 75% in fact. As such very few centers handle the situation as a main addiction, even though the fact that helping individuals quit smoking during treatment is associated with a 25 percent greater chance they will remain free from substance abuse. As a result, there are 'smoking not allowed' drug rehab facilities in Shelby that implement a smoking ban and most of them also offer treatment for nicotine addiction.
While total bans on smoking are not the norm, an increasing number of facilities are actually beginning to implement their own bans, but also state and local tobacco-free workplace mandates attempt to make rehabs 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. Enforcing a ban on smoking may make hesitant potential clients who smoke starting treatment. In the meantime, it will help those who do choose a no smoking drug and alcohol addiction rehab program be better able to recover in a completely addiction and drug free environment.
