It is a known fact that people in treatment for drug and alcohol addiction are more likely to smoke tobacco, 75 percent in fact. With that being said few programs handle the situation as a main addiction, even though the fact that helping clients quit smoking tobacco during treatment is associated with a 25 percent greater chance the individual will stay free from substance abuse. Because of this, there are 'smoking not allowed' drug treatment programs in Brownsville that implement a smoking ban and most of them also offer treatment for nicotine addiction.
While complete bans on smoking are definitely not normal, more and more programs are starting to enforce their own bans, but also state and local tobacco-free workplace mandates angle to make rehabs completely smoke-free environments. In so doing, 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 smoking ban may make hesitant potential clients who smoke starting treatment. In the meantime, 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 addiction and drug free environment.
