It is a fact that people in rehab for substance abuse are more likely to smoke tobacco, 75% in fact. With that being said few centers handle the problem as a main addiction, even though the fact that helping individuals stop smoking tobacco during treatment is associated with a 25% greater chance they will remain sober from alcohol and drugs. As a result, there are 'smoking not allowed' drug treatment programs in Norfolk that implement a smoking ban and most of them also offer nicotine addiction treatment.
While total smoking bans are not normal, an increasing number of programs are starting to implement 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. Implementing a smoking ban may deter 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.
