It is a known fact that individuals in rehab for substance abuse are more likely to smoke tobacco, 75 percent in fact. As such very few centers address the problem as a main addiction, even though the fact that helping clients quit smoking tobacco during rehab is associated with a 25% higher possibility the client will remain sober from drugs and alcohol. As a result, there are 'smoking not allowed' drug rehab centers in Ireland that implement a smoking ban and most of them also provide treatment for nicotine addiction.
While total bans on smoking are definitely not the norm, more and more programs are actually beginning to implement 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. At the same time it will help those who do choose a no smoking drug and alcohol addiction rehab program be better able to recover in a completely addiction and drug free environment.
