It is a known fact that individuals in rehab for drug and alcohol addiction are more likely to smoke tobacco, 75% in fact. With that being said very few centers address the situation as a main addiction, even though the fact that helping clients quit smoking during rehab is associated with a 25% higher chance the individual will remain sober from drugs and alcohol. Because of this, there are 'smoking not allowed' drug rehab programs in Amherst that enforce a smoking ban and most of them also offer treatment for nicotine addiction.
While complete bans on smoking are not normal, an increasing number of centers are beginning to enforce their own bans, but also state and local tobacco-free workplace mandates angle to make facilities completely smoke-free environments. In doing so, they bypass the need to develop and enforce 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. At the same time it will help those who do choose a no smoking drug and alcohol addiction rehab center be better able to recover in a completely drug and addiction free environment.
