It is a fact that people in rehabilitation for substance abuse are much more likely to smoke tobacco, 75 percent in fact. As such few centers handle the problem as a primary addiction, even though the fact that helping people quit smoking tobacco while in treatment is associated with a 25% greater possibility the client will stay sober from alcohol and drugs. Because of this, there are 'smoking not allowed' drug rehab programs in Skowhegan that implement a smoking ban and most of them also offer treatment for nicotine addiction.
While total smoking bans are not normal, more and more programs are starting to implement their own bans, but also state and local tobacco-free workplace mandates attempt 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 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 substance abuse rehab program be better able to get sober in a completely addiction and drug free environment.
