It is a fact that people in treatment for alcohol and/or drug addiction are much more likely to be smokers, 75 percent in fact. As such few facilities address the situation as a primary addiction, even though the fact that helping individuals stop smoking tobacco during treatment is associated with a 25 percent greater possibility they will stay free from substance abuse. As a result, there are 'smoking not allowed' drug treatment centers in Kotzebue that implement a smoking ban and most of them also provide treatment for nicotine addiction.
While total smoking bans are not normal, more and more facilities are actually beginning to enforce their own bans, but also state and local tobacco-free workplace mandates attempt to make facilities completely smoke-free environments. In so doing, 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 no smoking substance abuse rehab program be better able to recover in a completely drug and addiction free environment.
