It is a fact that clients in rehabilitation for substance abuse are more likely to smoke tobacco, 75% in fact. With that being said very few facilities address the problem as a primary addiction, even though the fact that helping people stop smoking while in rehab is associated with a 25 percent greater possibility the client will stay free from substance abuse. As a result, there are 'smoking not allowed' drug rehab programs in Kansas that implement a smoking ban and most of them also provide nicotine addiction treatment.
While total smoking bans are not normal, an increasing number of rehabs are actually starting to implement their own bans, but also state and local tobacco-free workplace mandates angle to make rehabs completely smoke-free environments. In doing so, 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 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 drug and alcohol addiction rehab facility be better able to recover in a completely drug and addiction free environment.
