It is a known fact that clients in rehab for drug and alcohol addiction are much more likely to be smokers, 75% in fact. With that being said few facilities handle the problem as a main addiction, even though the fact that helping clients quit smoking tobacco while in treatment is associated with a 25 percent higher chance the client will remain sober from drugs and alcohol. Because of this, there are 'smoking not allowed' drug rehab programs in Erie that implement a smoking ban and most of them also provide nicotine addiction treatment.
While total bans on smoking are definitely not normal, more and more rehabs are actually starting to enforce their own bans, but also state and local tobacco-free workplace mandates attempt to make facilities completely smoke-free environments. 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. Implementing a ban on smoking may make hesitant potential clients who smoke starting treatment. At the same time it will help those who do choose a no smoking substance abuse rehab program be better able to recover in a completely drug and addiction free environment.
