It is a fact that clients in rehab for substance abuse are more likely to be smokers, 75 percent in fact. As such few programs address the situation as a primary addiction, even though the fact that helping people quit smoking tobacco while in rehab is associated with a 25 percent greater chance the individual will remain sober from alcohol and drugs. As a result, there are 'smoking not allowed' drug treatment programs in Preemption that implement a smoking ban and most of them also provide nicotine addiction treatment.
While complete smoking bans are not normal, more and more rehabs are actually beginning to implement their own bans, but also state and local tobacco-free workplace mandates attempt to make facilities completely smoke free. In so doing, they avoid 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 smoking not allowed substance abuse rehab program be better able to recover in a completely addiction and drug free environment.
