It is a fact that individuals in rehab for alcohol and/or drug addiction are more likely to be smokers, 75 percent in fact. As such very few centers address the problem as a primary addiction, despite the fact that helping clients quit smoking during rehab is associated with a 25 percent higher possibility they will stay free from substance abuse. Because of this, there are 'smoking not allowed' drug treatment programs in Vale that implement a smoking ban and most of them also offer treatment for nicotine addiction.
While complete smoking bans are not normal, more and more rehabs 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, they 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 complete ban on smoking may make hesitant potential clients who smoke starting treatment. In the meantime, it will help those who do choose a no smoking drug and alcohol addiction rehab center be better able to get sober in a completely drug and addiction free environment.
