It is a known fact that people in rehabilitation for alcohol and/or drug addiction are much more likely to be smokers, 75% in fact. As such few programs handle the problem as a primary addiction, despite the fact that helping individuals stop smoking while in rehab is associated with a 25 percent greater chance the individual will remain sober from alcohol and drugs. As a result, there are 'smoking not allowed' drug rehab centers in Orrington that enforce a smoking ban and most of them also provide treatment for nicotine addiction.
While complete smoking bans are not normal, an increasing number of rehabs are starting to implement their own bans, but also state and local tobacco-free workplace mandates angle to make facilities 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 complete ban on smoking may deter potential clients who smoke starting treatment. At the same time it will help those who do choose a no smoking alcohol and/or drug addiction rehab center be better able to get sober in a completely drug and addiction free environment.
