It is a fact that individuals in treatment for alcohol and/or drug addiction are much more likely to be smokers, 75 percent in fact. As such few programs address the situation as a primary addiction, despite the fact that helping clients stop smoking during treatment is associated with a 25% higher chance the client will stay sober from alcohol and drugs. As a result, there are 'smoking not allowed' drug treatment facilities in Augusta that implement a smoking ban and most of them also offer treatment for nicotine addiction.
While total bans on smoking are not normal, more and more centers 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 so doing, 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. In the meantime, it will help those who do choose a smoking not allowed substance abuse rehab center be better able to get sober in a completely addiction and drug free environment.
