It is a fact that clients in rehab for alcohol and/or drug addiction are more likely to be smokers, 75% in fact. As such very few programs address the problem as a main addiction, even though the fact that helping clients stop smoking tobacco while in rehab is associated with a 25 percent higher chance the individual will stay sober from drugs and alcohol. As a result, there are 'smoking not allowed' drug rehab programs in Elmwood 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 programs are starting to implement their own bans, but also state and local tobacco-free workplace mandates attempt to make rehabs 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. 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 alcohol and/or drug addiction rehab program be better able to recover in a completely drug and addiction free environment.
