Smoking Not Allowed - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Programs - DHS, VA.

It is a known fact that clients in rehabilitation for alcohol and/or drug addiction are much more likely to be smokers, 75 percent in fact. With that being said very few facilities address the situation as a main addiction, even though the fact that helping clients quit smoking tobacco while in rehab is associated with a 25% greater chance they will remain sober from drugs and alcohol. Because of this, there are 'smoking not allowed' drug treatment programs in DHS that implement a smoking ban and most of them also offer nicotine addiction treatment.

While complete bans on smoking are not the norm, more and more centers are beginning to enforce their own bans, but also state and local tobacco-free workplace mandates attempt to make rehabs completely smoke free. In doing so, these mandates avoid the need to develop and enforce facility policies that are already legally in place and enforced legally by state and local agencies. Enforcing a complete ban on smoking may make hesitant potential clients who smoke starting treatment. At the same time it will help those who do choose a smoking not allowed substance abuse rehab facility be better able to recover in a completely drug and addiction free environment.
