It is a fact that people in rehabilitation for drug and alcohol addiction are much more likely to be smokers, 75 percent in fact. As such few facilities handle the problem as a primary addiction, even though the fact that helping individuals stop smoking tobacco while in rehab is associated with a 25 percent greater possibility they will remain sober from drugs and alcohol. Because of this, there are 'smoking not allowed' drug treatment programs in Eagle River that implement a smoking ban and most of them also provide nicotine addiction treatment.
While complete bans on smoking are not the norm, more and more programs are actually starting to enforce their own bans, but also state and local tobacco-free workplace mandates attempt to make rehabs completely smoke free. 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 ban on smoking may make hesitant potential clients who smoke starting treatment. At the same time it will help those who do choose a smoking not allowed substance abuse rehab facility be better able to get sober in a completely addiction and drug free environment.
