It is a fact that people in treatment for substance abuse are more likely to be smokers, 75% in fact. With that being said very few centers handle the situation as a primary addiction, even though the fact that helping individuals stop smoking during treatment is associated with a 25% higher possibility they will stay sober from drugs and alcohol. Because of this, there are 'smoking not allowed' drug treatment programs in Poughkeepsie 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, an increasing number of facilities are actually beginning to enforce their own bans, but also state and local tobacco-free workplace mandates attempt 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 smoking ban may deter potential clients who smoke starting treatment. In the meantime, it will help those who do choose a no smoking substance abuse rehab program be better able to get sober in a completely addiction and drug free environment.
