It is a known fact that people in treatment for alcohol and/or drug addiction are much more likely to be smokers, 75 percent in fact. With that being said very few centers address the problem as a primary addiction, despite the fact that helping clients quit smoking tobacco during treatment is associated with a 25 percent greater chance the client will remain sober from drugs and alcohol. Because of this, there are 'smoking not allowed' drug treatment facilities in Hickory that implement a smoking ban and most of them also provide treatment for nicotine addiction.
While total bans on smoking are definitely not normal, an increasing number of 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. In doing so, they 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 make hesitant potential clients who smoke starting treatment. At the same time it will help those who do choose a no smoking drug and alcohol addiction rehab facility be better able to get sober in a completely drug and addiction free environment.
