It is a fact that clients in rehab for alcohol and/or drug addiction are more likely to be smokers, 75 percent in fact. As such very few programs handle the situation as a main addiction, even though the fact that helping people quit smoking during treatment is associated with a 25 percent greater possibility the client will remain sober from alcohol and drugs. Because of this, there are 'smoking not allowed' drug rehab facilities in Salem that implement a smoking ban and most of them also offer nicotine addiction treatment.
While complete smoking bans are definitely not the norm, an increasing number of programs are actually beginning to enforce their own bans, but also state and local tobacco-free workplace mandates attempt to make rehabs completely smoke-free environments. In so doing, 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 ban on smoking may deter potential clients who smoke starting treatment. In the meantime, it will help those who do choose a no smoking alcohol and/or drug addiction rehab facility be better able to get sober in a completely addiction and drug free environment.
