It is a fact that individuals in treatment for alcohol and/or drug addiction are much more likely to smoke tobacco, 75% in fact. With that being said very few programs address the situation as a main addiction, despite the fact that helping clients stop smoking while in rehab is associated with a 25 percent greater possibility the individual will stay free from substance abuse. As a result, there are 'smoking not allowed' drug treatment centers in Vail that enforce a smoking ban and most of them also provide nicotine addiction treatment.
While total bans on smoking are not normal, more and more rehabs are actually starting to enforce their own bans, but also state and local tobacco-free workplace mandates angle 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 complete ban on smoking may deter potential clients who smoke starting treatment. In the meantime, it will help those who do choose a no smoking drug and alcohol addiction rehab facility be better able to get sober in a completely drug and addiction free environment.
