It is a known fact that people in rehab for alcohol and/or drug addiction are more likely to be smokers, 75 percent in fact. As such very few programs handle the problem as a main addiction, even though the fact that helping clients quit smoking tobacco during rehab is associated with a 25% greater chance they will remain free from substance abuse. Because of this, there are 'smoking not allowed' drug rehab centers in Shawnee that implement a smoking ban and most of them also offer nicotine addiction treatment.
While total smoking bans are not the norm, more and more facilities are starting to implement their own bans, but also state and local tobacco-free workplace mandates attempt to make rehabs 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. 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 substance abuse rehab center be better able to get sober in a completely drug and addiction free environment.
