It is a fact that individuals in treatment for drug and alcohol addiction are much more likely to be smokers, 75% in fact. As such very few facilities handle the situation as a primary addiction, despite the fact that helping people quit smoking tobacco during treatment is associated with a 25% greater chance the individual will remain sober from drugs and alcohol. Because of this, there are 'smoking not allowed' drug treatment centers in Brownsville that implement a smoking ban and most of them also provide treatment for nicotine addiction.
While total bans on smoking are not the norm, an increasing number of programs are actually starting to enforce their own bans, but also state and local tobacco-free workplace mandates angle to make rehabs 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. Implementing a ban on smoking may deter potential clients who smoke starting treatment. In the meantime, it will help those who do choose a smoking not allowed substance abuse rehab facility be better able to recover in a completely drug and addiction free environment.
