It is a fact that individuals in treatment for substance abuse are more likely to be smokers, 75 percent in fact. As such few programs handle the problem as a main addiction, even though the fact that helping individuals quit smoking during treatment is associated with a 25% greater chance the individual will stay sober from drugs and alcohol. Because of this, there are 'smoking not allowed' drug treatment programs in Flushing that implement 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 facilities are actually beginning to enforce their own bans, but also state and local tobacco-free workplace mandates angle to make rehabs completely smoke free. In doing so, 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 smoking ban may make hesitant potential clients who smoke starting treatment. In the meantime, it will help those who do choose a smoking not allowed substance abuse rehab center be better able to get sober in a completely drug and addiction free environment.
