It is a fact that individuals in treatment for drug and alcohol addiction are much more likely to smoke tobacco, 75% in fact. As such very few centers handle the situation as a primary addiction, despite the fact that helping people stop smoking tobacco during treatment is associated with a 25% greater chance the client will stay sober from drugs and alcohol. Because of this, there are 'smoking not allowed' drug rehabilitation programs in Lackland that enforce a smoking ban and most of them also offer nicotine addiction treatment.
While total bans on smoking are definitely not the norm, an increasing number of facilities are starting to enforce their own bans, but also state and local tobacco-free workplace mandates attempt to make rehabs 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. 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 substance abuse rehab facility be better able to recover in a completely drug and addiction free environment.
