It is a known fact that people in rehab for alcohol and/or drug addiction are more likely to smoke tobacco, 75% in fact. With that being said very few centers address the situation as a main addiction, despite the fact that helping people stop smoking tobacco while in rehab is associated with a 25% higher possibility the individual will stay sober from alcohol and drugs. As a result, there are 'smoking not allowed' drug treatment facilities in Lake St. Louis that implement a smoking ban and most of them also provide treatment for nicotine addiction.
While complete bans on smoking are not normal, more and more centers are starting to enforce their own bans, but also state and local tobacco-free workplace mandates angle to make rehabs completely smoke free. In so doing, these mandates bypass the need to develop and implement facility policies that are already legally in place and enforced legally by state and local agencies. Implementing a smoking ban may deter potential clients who smoke starting treatment. In the meantime, it will help those who do choose a no smoking drug and alcohol addiction rehab program be better able to get sober in a completely addiction and drug free environment.
