It is a fact that individuals in rehabilitation for drug and alcohol addiction are more likely to be smokers, 75% in fact. As such few facilities address the problem as a primary addiction, even though the fact that helping people stop smoking while in treatment is associated with a 25 percent greater chance they will remain sober from drugs and alcohol. Because of this, there are 'smoking not allowed' drug rehab centers in Appleton that implement a smoking ban and most of them also provide nicotine addiction treatment.
While total smoking bans are definitely not the norm, more and more facilities are actually beginning to implement their own bans, but also state and local tobacco-free workplace mandates angle to make facilities 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 ban on smoking may deter potential clients who smoke starting treatment. At the same time it will help those who do choose a no smoking substance abuse rehab facility be better able to recover in a completely drug and addiction free environment.
