It is a fact that clients in treatment for substance abuse are much more likely to smoke tobacco, 75 percent in fact. With that being said very few programs address the situation as a main addiction, despite the fact that helping people quit smoking during rehab is associated with a 25 percent higher chance the individual will stay sober from drugs and alcohol. As a result, there are 'smoking not allowed' drug rehabilitation programs in Washougal that implement a smoking ban and most of them also offer treatment for nicotine addiction.
While complete smoking bans are definitely not normal, more and more facilities are 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, these mandates avoid the need to develop and implement facility policies that are already legally in place and enforced legally by state and local agencies. Enforcing a complete smoking ban 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 program be better able to recover in a completely drug and addiction free environment.
