It is a fact that people in rehabilitation for alcohol and/or drug addiction are more likely to be smokers, 75 percent in fact. With that being said few programs address the situation as a main addiction, even though the fact that helping individuals quit smoking tobacco during rehab is associated with a 25 percent greater possibility the client will remain sober from drugs and alcohol. As a result, there are 'smoking not allowed' drug rehabilitation facilities in Atherton that enforce a smoking ban and most of them also provide treatment for nicotine addiction.
While total smoking bans are definitely not normal, more and more programs are actually starting to implement their own bans, but also state and local tobacco-free workplace mandates angle to make facilities completely smoke-free environments. In doing so, these mandates avoid the need to develop and enforce facility policies that are already legally in place and enforced legally by state and local agencies. Implementing a ban on smoking may make hesitant potential clients who smoke starting treatment. At the same time it will help those who do choose a no smoking substance abuse rehab center be better able to recover in a completely addiction and drug free environment.
