It is a fact that individuals in rehabilitation for alcohol and/or drug addiction are much more likely to smoke tobacco, 75% in fact. As such few centers handle the situation as a primary addiction, even though the fact that helping people stop smoking tobacco during treatment is associated with a 25 percent higher chance the individual will stay sober from alcohol and drugs. Because of this, there are 'smoking not allowed' drug rehab centers in Deerfield that enforce a smoking ban and most of them also provide treatment for nicotine addiction.
While total smoking bans are not the norm, an increasing number of rehabs are actually starting to implement their own bans, but also state and local tobacco-free workplace mandates attempt to make facilities completely smoke free. In doing so, these mandates 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 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 get sober in a completely drug and addiction free environment.
