It is a known fact that individuals in rehabilitation for drug and alcohol addiction are much more likely to smoke tobacco, 75 percent in fact. With that being said few programs address the problem as a primary addiction, despite the fact that helping people stop smoking tobacco while in rehab is associated with a 25% greater chance they will stay sober from alcohol and drugs. As a result, there are 'smoking not allowed' drug rehabilitation programs in Bow that implement a smoking ban and most of them also offer treatment for nicotine addiction.
While total smoking bans are definitely not normal, more and more centers are actually beginning to implement their own bans, but also state and local tobacco-free workplace mandates angle to make rehabs completely smoke free. In so doing, they avoid the need to develop and enforce facility policies that are already legally in place and enforced legally by state and local agencies. Enforcing 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 substance abuse rehab facility be better able to get sober in a completely addiction and drug free environment.
