It is a known fact that individuals in rehabilitation for drug and alcohol addiction 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 quit smoking tobacco while in rehab is associated with a 25% greater chance the individual will stay sober from alcohol and drugs. As a result, there are 'smoking not allowed' drug treatment programs in Augusta that implement a smoking ban and most of them also provide nicotine addiction treatment.
While total bans on smoking are not normal, more and more facilities are beginning 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 avoid the need to develop and implement facility policies that are already legally in place and enforced legally by state and local agencies. Enforcing 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 program be better able to get sober in a completely addiction and drug free environment.
