It is a known fact that people in rehabilitation for alcohol and/or drug addiction are much more likely to smoke tobacco, 75% in fact. As such very few centers handle the problem as a primary addiction, despite the fact that helping people stop smoking while in rehab is associated with a 25% higher chance the individual will stay free from substance abuse. Because of this, there are 'smoking not allowed' drug rehabilitation centers in Arlington that implement a smoking ban and most of them also offer treatment for nicotine addiction.
While total bans on smoking are not the norm, an increasing number of facilities are starting to implement their own bans, but also state and local tobacco-free workplace mandates attempt to make facilities completely smoke-free environments. In so doing, they bypass the need to develop and implement facility policies that are already legally in place and enforced legally by state and local agencies. Implementing a complete 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.
