It is a known fact that individuals in rehab for drug and alcohol addiction are more likely to be smokers, 75% in fact. With that being said very few programs address the problem as a primary addiction, even though the fact that helping clients quit smoking tobacco while in rehab is associated with a 25 percent higher chance they will stay sober from alcohol and drugs. Because of this, there are 'smoking not allowed' drug treatment centers in Waitsfield that implement a smoking ban and most of them also provide treatment for nicotine addiction.
While total smoking bans are definitely not normal, an increasing number of facilities are starting to enforce their own bans, but also state and local tobacco-free workplace mandates attempt to make facilities completely smoke free. In doing so, 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 smoking ban may deter potential clients who smoke starting treatment. In the meantime, it will help those who do choose a no smoking substance abuse rehab program be better able to recover in a completely addiction and drug free environment.
