It is a fact that people in rehabilitation for substance abuse are more likely to be smokers, 75% in fact. As such very few facilities address the problem as a main addiction, even though the fact that helping clients stop smoking tobacco during treatment is associated with a 25 percent greater possibility the client will stay free from substance abuse. As a result, there are 'smoking not allowed' drug rehab programs in Melrose 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 starting to enforce their own bans, but also state and local tobacco-free workplace mandates angle to make facilities completely smoke free. In doing so, they bypass the need to develop and implement 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 no smoking drug and alcohol addiction rehab facility be better able to recover in a completely drug and addiction free environment.
