It is a fact that people in rehabilitation for substance abuse are much more likely to smoke tobacco, 75% in fact. As such very few programs address the problem as a main addiction, even though the fact that helping individuals stop smoking while in treatment is associated with a 25 percent higher chance the individual will remain sober from alcohol and drugs. Because of this, there are 'smoking not allowed' drug treatment programs in Richmond that implement a smoking ban and most of them also provide treatment for nicotine addiction.
While complete smoking bans are not the norm, more and more centers are starting to enforce their own bans, but also state and local tobacco-free workplace mandates attempt to make facilities completely smoke free. In so doing, they bypass the need to develop and enforce facility policies that are already legally in place and enforced legally by state and local agencies. Implementing a complete smoking ban may make hesitant potential clients who smoke starting treatment. In the meantime, it will help those who do choose a no smoking alcohol and/or drug addiction rehab center be better able to recover in a completely addiction and drug free environment.
