It is a known fact that individuals in rehab for alcohol and/or drug addiction are much more likely to smoke tobacco, 75% in fact. As such few programs handle the situation as a primary addiction, even though the fact that helping individuals stop smoking while in treatment is associated with a 25 percent greater possibility the client will remain sober from alcohol and drugs. As a result, there are 'smoking not allowed' drug treatment facilities in Chinook that enforce a smoking ban and most of them also offer treatment for nicotine addiction.
While complete bans on smoking are not normal, more and more rehabs are actually beginning to enforce their own bans, but also state and local tobacco-free workplace mandates angle to make facilities completely smoke-free environments. 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. Implementing a ban on smoking may deter 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 get sober in a completely drug and addiction free environment.
