It is a known fact that clients in rehab for drug and alcohol addiction are more likely to be smokers, 75% in fact. With that being said very few programs handle the problem as a main addiction, even though the fact that helping individuals quit smoking tobacco during treatment is associated with a 25 percent higher chance the individual will remain sober from alcohol and drugs. As a result, there are 'smoking not allowed' drug treatment centers in Grand Rapids that enforce a smoking ban and most of them also offer nicotine addiction treatment.
While complete bans on smoking are not the norm, more and more centers are beginning to enforce their own bans, but also state and local tobacco-free workplace mandates attempt to make facilities completely smoke-free environments. In doing so, these mandates bypass 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 substance abuse rehab program be better able to get sober in a completely drug and addiction free environment.
