It is a known fact that people in rehab for drug and alcohol addiction are more likely to be smokers, 75 percent in fact. As such very few programs handle the situation as a main addiction, despite the fact that helping clients stop smoking while in treatment is associated with a 25% greater chance they will remain free from substance abuse. Because of this, there are 'smoking not allowed' drug treatment programs in State Center that implement a smoking ban and most of them also offer nicotine addiction treatment.
While complete bans on smoking 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 angle to make facilities completely smoke free. In doing so, they avoid the need to develop and enforce facility policies that are already legally in place and enforced legally by state and local agencies. Enforcing a complete ban on smoking may make hesitant potential clients who smoke starting treatment. In the meantime, it will help those who do choose a smoking not allowed substance abuse rehab program be better able to recover in a completely addiction and drug free environment.
