It is a fact that clients in rehab for substance abuse are much more likely to be smokers, 75 percent in fact. As such very few centers handle the problem as a main addiction, despite the fact that helping people quit smoking tobacco while in rehab is associated with a 25 percent greater chance they will stay free from substance abuse. As a result, there are 'smoking not allowed' drug rehab facilities in West Columbia that implement 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 programs are starting to enforce their own bans, but also state and local tobacco-free workplace mandates angle to make facilities completely smoke-free environments. In doing so, 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 smoking ban 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 addiction and drug free environment.
