It is a known fact that individuals in rehab for substance abuse are more likely to be smokers, 75 percent in fact. As such few centers handle the situation as a primary addiction, even though the fact that helping individuals stop smoking while in treatment is associated with a 25 percent higher possibility they will stay sober from alcohol and drugs. Because of this, there are 'smoking not allowed' drug treatment programs in Mount Vernon that enforce a smoking ban and most of them also provide nicotine addiction treatment.
While complete bans on smoking are definitely not the norm, an increasing number of rehabs are beginning to enforce their own bans, but also state and local tobacco-free workplace mandates attempt to make facilities completely smoke-free environments. In doing so, they 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 make hesitant potential clients who smoke starting treatment. In the meantime, it will help those who do choose a smoking not allowed drug and alcohol addiction rehab program be better able to recover in a completely drug and addiction free environment.
