It is a known fact that individuals in rehab for alcohol and/or drug addiction are much more likely to be smokers, 75% in fact. As such few centers address the situation as a primary addiction, even though the fact that helping clients quit smoking while in rehab is associated with a 25 percent higher chance the individual will stay sober from alcohol and drugs. As a result, there are 'smoking not allowed' drug rehab programs in New River that enforce a smoking ban and most of them also offer nicotine addiction treatment.
While total bans on smoking are not the norm, an increasing number of rehabs are actually beginning to implement their own bans, but also state and local tobacco-free workplace mandates attempt to make rehabs completely smoke free. In doing so, these mandates avoid the need to develop and implement facility policies that are already legally in place and enforced legally by state and local agencies. Implementing a complete ban on smoking may deter potential clients who smoke starting treatment. In the meantime, it will help those who do choose a smoking not allowed substance abuse rehab center be better able to recover in a completely addiction and drug free environment.
