It is a fact that people in rehabilitation for substance abuse are more likely to be smokers, 75% in fact. As such very few facilities address the situation as a primary addiction, despite the fact that helping clients stop smoking while in rehab is associated with a 25 percent higher possibility they will stay free from substance abuse. Because of this, there are 'smoking not allowed' drug treatment facilities in Ontario that enforce a smoking ban and most of them also provide treatment for nicotine addiction.
While total smoking bans are not normal, an increasing number of centers are actually starting to implement their own bans, but also state and local tobacco-free workplace mandates angle to make facilities completely smoke free. In so doing, they avoid 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 smoking ban 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 facility be better able to recover in a completely addiction and drug free environment.
