It is a known fact that people in treatment for alcohol and/or drug addiction are more likely to be smokers, 75% in fact. As such few facilities address the situation as a main addiction, even though the fact that helping people stop smoking while in 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 programs in Wellington that enforce a smoking ban and most of them also provide treatment for nicotine addiction.
While total bans on smoking are definitely not normal, more and more rehabs are 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, they 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 drug and alcohol addiction rehab facility be better able to recover in a completely addiction and drug free environment.
