It is a known fact that individuals in rehab for alcohol and/or drug addiction are more likely to smoke tobacco, 75 percent in fact. As such very few facilities handle the problem as a primary addiction, despite the fact that helping individuals stop smoking tobacco during treatment is associated with a 25 percent higher chance they will stay sober from drugs and alcohol. As a result, there are 'smoking not allowed' drug treatment programs in Lewiston that implement a smoking ban and most of them also provide nicotine addiction treatment.
While complete smoking bans are not normal, more and more programs are starting to implement their own bans, but also state and local tobacco-free workplace mandates attempt to make rehabs completely smoke free. In so doing, 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 smoking ban may make hesitant potential clients who smoke starting treatment. In the meantime, it will help those who do choose a no smoking substance abuse rehab center be better able to get sober in a completely addiction and drug free environment.
