It is a known fact that clients in rehabilitation for alcohol and/or drug addiction are much more likely to smoke tobacco, 75 percent in fact. As such very few centers address the situation as a primary addiction, even though the fact that helping people quit smoking tobacco during rehab is associated with a 25% greater chance the client will remain sober from drugs and alcohol. Because of this, there are 'smoking not allowed' drug treatment facilities in Independence that implement a smoking ban and most of them also provide treatment for nicotine addiction.
While total bans on smoking are not the norm, an increasing number of centers are beginning to enforce their own bans, but also state and local tobacco-free workplace mandates attempt to make rehabs completely smoke-free environments. In doing so, they 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 smoking ban may deter potential clients who smoke starting treatment. At the same time it will help those who do choose a no smoking alcohol and/or drug addiction rehab facility be better able to recover in a completely drug and addiction free environment.
