It is a fact that people in rehabilitation for drug and alcohol addiction are more likely to be smokers, 75 percent in fact. With that being said very few facilities handle the problem as a main addiction, despite the fact that helping clients quit smoking while in rehab is associated with a 25% greater possibility the client will stay sober from drugs and alcohol. Because of this, there are 'smoking not allowed' drug rehabilitation facilities in Melbourne that enforce a smoking ban and most of them also provide nicotine addiction treatment.
While total smoking bans are definitely not the norm, more and more facilities are actually starting to implement their own bans, but also state and local tobacco-free workplace mandates attempt to make facilities 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. 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 alcohol and/or drug addiction rehab program be better able to recover in a completely addiction and drug free environment.
