It is a fact that clients in treatment for substance abuse are much more likely to smoke tobacco, 75% in fact. As such very few centers handle the problem as a primary addiction, even though the fact that helping people stop smoking tobacco during rehab is associated with a 25% higher possibility the individual will stay sober from drugs and alcohol. As a result, there are 'smoking not allowed' drug rehab centers in Columbia that implement a smoking ban and most of them also provide nicotine addiction treatment.
While complete bans on smoking are definitely not normal, an increasing number of centers are actually beginning to implement their own bans, but also state and local tobacco-free workplace mandates attempt to make facilities completely smoke free. In so doing, 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 ban on smoking may make hesitant potential clients who smoke starting treatment. At the same time it will help those who do choose a no smoking drug and alcohol addiction rehab program be better able to get sober in a completely drug and addiction free environment.
