It is a fact that clients in rehab for drug and alcohol addiction are more likely to smoke tobacco, 75% in fact. As such very few facilities address the situation as a primary addiction, despite the fact that helping individuals quit smoking while in rehab is associated with a 25% higher chance the individual will remain sober from drugs and alcohol. As a result, there are 'smoking not allowed' drug rehab centers in South Portland that enforce 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 centers are actually beginning to implement their own bans, but also state and local tobacco-free workplace mandates angle to make rehabs completely smoke free. In so doing, they bypass the need to develop and enforce 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 no smoking alcohol and/or drug addiction rehab program be better able to recover in a completely addiction and drug free environment.
