It is a fact that individuals in rehabilitation for drug and alcohol addiction are much more likely to be smokers, 75% in fact. As such very few programs address the problem as a primary addiction, even though the fact that helping individuals stop smoking during treatment is associated with a 25% higher chance they will remain sober from alcohol and drugs. Because of this, there are 'smoking not allowed' drug rehab programs in Corn that enforce a smoking ban and most of them also provide treatment for nicotine addiction.
While complete smoking bans are not the norm, more and more programs are beginning 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, 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. Enforcing a ban on smoking may deter 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 facility be better able to get sober in a completely drug and addiction free environment.
