It is a fact that clients in rehab for drug and alcohol addiction are much more likely to smoke tobacco, 75 percent in fact. As such very few programs handle the problem as a primary addiction, even though the fact that helping individuals quit smoking tobacco during rehab is associated with a 25 percent higher possibility they will stay free from substance abuse. As a result, there are 'smoking not allowed' drug treatment facilities in Rochester that implement a smoking ban and most of them also provide treatment for nicotine addiction.
While total smoking bans are not normal, more and more rehabs are beginning to enforce their own bans, but also state and local tobacco-free workplace mandates angle 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 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 center be better able to recover in a completely drug and addiction free environment.
