It is a fact that people in treatment for alcohol and/or drug addiction are much more likely to be smokers, 75 percent in fact. As such very few centers handle the problem as a primary addiction, despite the fact that helping individuals stop smoking tobacco while in treatment is associated with a 25% greater possibility they will remain sober from alcohol and drugs. Because of this, there are 'smoking not allowed' drug rehab centers in Ina that implement a smoking ban and most of them also provide nicotine addiction treatment.
While complete bans on smoking are not the norm, more and more rehabs 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, these mandates 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 smoking ban may make hesitant potential clients who smoke starting treatment. In the meantime, it will help those who do choose a smoking not allowed alcohol and/or drug addiction rehab facility be better able to get sober in a completely drug and addiction free environment.
