It is a fact that clients in treatment for substance abuse are much more likely to smoke tobacco, 75% in fact. With that being said few programs handle the situation 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 stay sober from drugs and alcohol. As a result, there are 'smoking not allowed' drug treatment programs in Bristol that implement a smoking ban and most of them also provide nicotine addiction treatment.
While total bans on smoking are not the norm, an increasing number of programs are actually beginning to implement their own bans, but also state and local tobacco-free workplace mandates angle to make facilities completely smoke free. In doing so, they avoid the need to develop and implement facility policies that are already legally in place and enforced legally by state and local agencies. Implementing a 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 program be better able to recover in a completely drug and addiction free environment.
