It is a known fact that individuals in treatment for alcohol and/or drug addiction are more likely to be smokers, 75% in fact. With that being said very few centers address the problem as a primary addiction, despite the fact that helping people quit smoking tobacco during treatment is associated with a 25 percent greater chance the client will stay free from substance abuse. Because of this, there are 'smoking not allowed' drug rehabilitation facilities in Palmerton that enforce a smoking ban and most of them also provide treatment for nicotine addiction.
While total bans on smoking are definitely not the norm, more and more programs 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. Implementing 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 smoking not allowed alcohol and/or drug addiction rehab program be better able to get sober in a completely addiction and drug free environment.
