It is a fact that individuals in rehab for alcohol and/or drug addiction are much more likely to be smokers, 75% in fact. As such few centers address the problem as a primary addiction, despite the fact that helping clients stop smoking during treatment is associated with a 25 percent greater possibility the individual will stay sober from alcohol and drugs. Because of this, there are 'smoking not allowed' drug rehab centers in Herrick Center that implement a smoking ban and most of them also provide nicotine addiction treatment.
While total bans on smoking are definitely not the norm, more and more programs are actually starting to enforce their own bans, but also state and local tobacco-free workplace mandates attempt to make rehabs completely smoke free. In so doing, these mandates 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 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 facility be better able to get sober in a completely addiction and drug free environment.
