It is a fact that individuals in rehabilitation for alcohol and/or drug addiction are more likely to smoke tobacco, 75% in fact. As such few centers address the situation as a primary addiction, even though the fact that helping people stop smoking while in treatment is associated with a 25% higher chance the client will stay sober from drugs and alcohol. As a result, there are 'smoking not allowed' drug treatment facilities in Sterling that implement a smoking ban and most of them also provide treatment for nicotine addiction.
While complete smoking bans are definitely not normal, more and more programs are beginning to implement their own bans, but also state and local tobacco-free workplace mandates attempt to make rehabs completely smoke-free environments. In so doing, they avoid the need to develop and enforce facility policies that are already legally in place and enforced legally by state and local agencies. Implementing a complete smoking ban may deter potential clients who smoke starting treatment. In the meantime, it will help those who do choose a no smoking substance abuse rehab facility be better able to get sober in a completely addiction and drug free environment.
