It is a fact that individuals in rehabilitation for alcohol and/or drug addiction are more likely to smoke tobacco, 75% in fact. As such few centers handle the situation as a main addiction, despite the fact that helping clients quit smoking during treatment is associated with a 25% higher chance the individual will stay sober from drugs and alcohol. As a result, there are 'smoking not allowed' drug treatment programs in West Point that enforce a smoking ban and most of them also offer nicotine addiction treatment.
While complete bans on smoking are not the norm, more and more rehabs are beginning 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 implement facility policies that are already legally in place and enforced legally by state and local agencies. Implementing a complete smoking ban may deter 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 get sober in a completely drug and addiction free environment.
