It is a fact that individuals in rehab for alcohol and/or drug addiction are more likely to be smokers, 75% in fact. As such few programs handle the situation as a primary addiction, even though the fact that helping individuals quit smoking tobacco during treatment is associated with a 25% higher possibility the individual will stay sober from drugs and alcohol. Because of this, there are 'smoking not allowed' drug rehabilitation facilities in Onalaska that implement a smoking ban and most of them also provide nicotine addiction treatment.
While total bans on smoking are definitely not the norm, more and more programs are actually starting to implement their own bans, but also state and local tobacco-free workplace mandates angle to make rehabs completely smoke-free environments. In doing so, these mandates bypass the need to develop and enforce facility policies that are already legally in place and enforced legally by state and local agencies. Enforcing a ban on smoking 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 facility be better able to get sober in a completely addiction and drug free environment.
