It is a fact that people in treatment for drug and alcohol addiction are more likely to smoke tobacco, 75 percent in fact. With that being said few centers handle the problem as a main addiction, even though the fact that helping individuals quit smoking while in treatment is associated with a 25% higher chance the client will stay sober from drugs and alcohol. As a result, there are 'smoking not allowed' drug treatment centers in St. Elmo that enforce a smoking ban and most of them also provide treatment for nicotine addiction.
While total smoking bans are not the norm, more and more facilities are actually 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, 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. Enforcing a complete smoking ban may deter potential clients who smoke starting treatment. At the same time 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.
