It is a known fact that people in treatment for drug and alcohol addiction are much more likely to be smokers, 75 percent in fact. With that being said very few facilities address the situation as a primary addiction, even though the fact that helping clients stop smoking tobacco while in treatment is associated with a 25% greater possibility the client will remain free from substance abuse. Because of this, there are 'smoking not allowed' drug treatment programs in Kaweah that implement a smoking ban and most of them also offer treatment for nicotine addiction.
While total bans on smoking are not the norm, more and more rehabs are starting to enforce their own bans, but also state and local tobacco-free workplace mandates attempt to make rehabs completely smoke-free environments. In doing so, these mandates bypass the need to develop and enforce facility policies that are already legally in place and enforced legally by state and local agencies. Enforcing a ban on smoking 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 facility be better able to get sober in a completely drug and addiction free environment.
