It is a known fact that clients in treatment for alcohol and/or drug addiction are much more likely to smoke tobacco, 75% in fact. As such few programs address the problem as a primary addiction, even though the fact that helping individuals stop smoking while in treatment is associated with a 25 percent higher possibility the individual will remain sober from drugs and alcohol. As a result, there are 'smoking not allowed' drug treatment programs in Fifty Six that implement a smoking ban and most of them also provide nicotine addiction treatment.
While total bans on smoking are definitely not the norm, an increasing number of centers are starting to enforce their own bans, but also state and local tobacco-free workplace mandates angle to make facilities completely smoke free. 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 complete smoking ban may make hesitant potential clients who smoke starting treatment. In the meantime, it will help those who do choose a no smoking substance abuse rehab facility be better able to recover in a completely addiction and drug free environment.
