It is a fact that individuals in rehab for alcohol and/or drug addiction are much more likely to be smokers, 75% in fact. As such very few programs handle the situation as a primary addiction, despite the fact that helping clients stop smoking tobacco while in rehab is associated with a 25 percent greater chance the individual will stay sober from alcohol and drugs. As a result, there are 'smoking not allowed' drug rehab centers in New Richmond that implement a smoking ban and most of them also provide treatment for nicotine addiction.
While complete bans on smoking are definitely not the norm, an increasing number of programs are actually beginning to enforce their own bans, but also state and local tobacco-free workplace mandates attempt to make rehabs completely smoke free. In doing so, they bypass the need to develop and implement 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. In the meantime, it will help those who do choose a no smoking drug and alcohol addiction rehab program be better able to recover in a completely addiction and drug free environment.
