It is a fact that people in rehabilitation for drug and alcohol addiction are more likely to be smokers, 75% in fact. As such very few centers address the situation as a main addiction, despite the fact that helping people quit smoking tobacco while in rehab is associated with a 25 percent higher chance the individual will remain sober from alcohol and drugs. As a result, there are 'smoking not allowed' drug rehab centers in Uncle Sam that implement a smoking ban and most of them also provide treatment for nicotine addiction.
While total bans on smoking are definitely not the norm, more and more rehabs are actually starting to implement their own bans, but also state and local tobacco-free workplace mandates angle to make rehabs completely smoke-free environments. 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. Enforcing a complete smoking ban may make hesitant potential clients who smoke starting treatment. In the meantime, it will help those who do choose a smoking not allowed alcohol and/or drug addiction rehab facility be better able to recover in a completely drug and addiction free environment.
