It is a fact that clients in rehabilitation for drug and alcohol addiction are much more likely to be smokers, 75% in fact. With that being said very few programs handle the situation as a primary addiction, even though the fact that helping clients stop smoking tobacco while in treatment is associated with a 25% greater chance the client will stay free from substance abuse. As a result, there are 'smoking not allowed' drug treatment centers in Big Bend 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 facilities are beginning to enforce their own bans, but also state and local tobacco-free workplace mandates angle to make facilities 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. Implementing a complete 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 recover in a completely drug and addiction free environment.
