It is a fact that individuals in treatment for alcohol and/or drug addiction are more likely to smoke tobacco, 75% in fact. With that being said very few centers address the situation as a main addiction, even though the fact that helping individuals stop smoking tobacco during rehab is associated with a 25% greater possibility the client will remain sober from drugs and alcohol. Because of this, there are 'smoking not allowed' drug rehab centers in Tennessee that enforce a smoking ban and most of them also provide treatment for nicotine addiction.
While total smoking bans are not the norm, an increasing number of centers are actually beginning to implement their own bans, but also state and local tobacco-free workplace mandates angle to make rehabs completely smoke free. 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. Implementing a ban on smoking 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 center be better able to get sober in a completely addiction and drug free environment.
