It is a fact that individuals in treatment for substance abuse are more likely to be smokers, 75 percent in fact. As such few programs handle the situation as a main addiction, despite the fact that helping clients stop smoking tobacco during treatment is associated with a 25% greater chance the client will remain sober from alcohol and drugs. As a result, there are 'smoking not allowed' drug rehab facilities in South Bend that implement a smoking ban and most of them also provide nicotine addiction treatment.
While complete smoking bans are definitely not the norm, an increasing number of facilities are actually starting to enforce their own bans, but also state and local tobacco-free workplace mandates attempt 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. Implementing a smoking ban 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 program be better able to recover in a completely addiction and drug free environment.
