It is a fact that clients in rehabilitation for substance abuse are more likely to be smokers, 75 percent in fact. As such few programs handle the situation as a primary addiction, despite the fact that helping people stop smoking tobacco during rehab is associated with a 25 percent greater chance they will stay free from substance abuse. As a result, there are 'smoking not allowed' drug rehabilitation programs in Shannock that implement a smoking ban and most of them also offer nicotine addiction treatment.
While total bans on smoking are not the norm, more and more rehabs 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. Implementing a smoking ban may make hesitant potential clients who smoke starting treatment. In the meantime, it will help those who do choose a smoking not allowed substance abuse rehab facility be better able to get sober in a completely drug and addiction free environment.
