It is a fact that individuals in rehab for substance abuse are more likely to be smokers, 75% in fact. With that being said very few programs handle the situation as a main addiction, despite the fact that helping individuals stop smoking during rehab is associated with a 25 percent greater chance the individual will stay sober from drugs and alcohol. Because of this, there are 'smoking not allowed' drug treatment centers in Arapahoe that implement a smoking ban and most of them also offer nicotine addiction treatment.
While total bans on smoking are definitely not normal, more and more facilities are actually starting to implement their own bans, but also state and local tobacco-free workplace mandates attempt to make facilities completely smoke-free environments. In doing so, they 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 ban on smoking 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 get sober in a completely drug and addiction free environment.
