It is a fact that clients in treatment for alcohol and/or drug addiction are much more likely to be smokers, 75% in fact. With that being said very few centers address the problem as a primary addiction, even though the fact that helping people stop smoking while in treatment is associated with a 25 percent greater possibility the client will remain sober from drugs and alcohol. As a result, there are 'smoking not allowed' drug treatment centers in Glenwood that implement a smoking ban and most of them also provide nicotine addiction treatment.
While complete smoking bans are definitely not normal, an increasing number of facilities are beginning to implement their own bans, but also state and local tobacco-free workplace mandates attempt to make facilities completely smoke-free environments. In so doing, these mandates 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 deter potential clients who smoke starting treatment. In the meantime, it will help those who do choose a no smoking substance abuse rehab program be better able to recover in a completely addiction and drug free environment.
