It is a known fact that individuals in rehabilitation for substance abuse are much more likely to smoke tobacco, 75% in fact. As such very few facilities address the problem as a main addiction, even though the fact that helping people quit smoking tobacco while in treatment is associated with a 25% greater possibility the individual will remain free from substance abuse. As a result, there are 'smoking not allowed' drug treatment facilities in Athens that enforce a smoking ban and most of them also offer treatment for nicotine addiction.
While complete smoking bans are not normal, an increasing number of programs are 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, 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 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 alcohol and/or drug addiction rehab program be better able to recover in a completely drug and addiction free environment.
