It is a fact that individuals in rehabilitation for drug and alcohol addiction are much more likely to smoke tobacco, 75% in fact. As such few programs handle the problem as a main addiction, despite the fact that helping people quit smoking during treatment is associated with a 25 percent higher possibility the individual will stay sober from drugs and alcohol. As a result, there are 'smoking not allowed' drug rehabilitation programs in Richmond that enforce a smoking ban and most of them also offer treatment for nicotine addiction.
While complete bans on smoking are not the norm, an increasing number of facilities are actually starting to implement their own bans, but also state and local tobacco-free workplace mandates attempt to make facilities completely smoke-free environments. 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 smoking ban may make hesitant potential clients who smoke starting treatment. At the same time it will help those who do choose a smoking not allowed substance abuse rehab facility be better able to get sober in a completely drug and addiction free environment.
