It is a fact that clients in treatment for drug and alcohol addiction are more likely to be smokers, 75 percent in fact. As such very few facilities handle the situation as a primary addiction, despite the fact that helping people quit smoking tobacco during treatment is associated with a 25% higher possibility the client will remain sober from drugs and alcohol. As a result, there are 'smoking not allowed' drug rehab programs in Amherst that enforce a smoking ban and most of them also provide treatment for nicotine addiction.
While complete smoking bans are definitely not normal, more and more centers are actually beginning to enforce their own bans, but also state and local tobacco-free workplace mandates angle to make facilities completely smoke free. In so doing, they avoid the need to develop and implement facility policies that are already legally in place and enforced legally by state and local agencies. Implementing a complete ban on smoking may make hesitant potential clients who smoke starting treatment. At the same time it will help those who do choose a no smoking alcohol and/or drug addiction rehab program be better able to recover in a completely drug and addiction free environment.
