It is a fact that individuals in rehabilitation for drug and alcohol addiction are much more likely to smoke tobacco, 75% in fact. With that being said very few facilities handle 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 they will stay sober from drugs and alcohol. As a result, there are 'smoking not allowed' drug treatment centers in Wake that enforce a smoking ban and most of them also provide nicotine addiction treatment.
While complete bans on smoking are not normal, more and more facilities are actually starting to enforce their own bans, but also state and local tobacco-free workplace mandates angle to make rehabs completely smoke-free environments. In doing so, these mandates 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 complete ban on smoking may deter 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.
