It is a fact that people in treatment for drug and alcohol addiction are more likely to smoke tobacco, 75% in fact. With that being said few centers address the situation as a main addiction, even though the fact that helping people quit smoking tobacco while in rehab is associated with a 25 percent greater chance they will stay sober from alcohol and drugs. Because of this, there are 'smoking not allowed' drug treatment facilities in Golden Gate that enforce a smoking ban and most of them also provide nicotine addiction treatment.
While total bans on smoking are definitely not the norm, more and more centers are starting to enforce their own bans, but also state and local tobacco-free workplace mandates angle to make rehabs completely smoke-free environments. In doing so, they bypass the need to develop and implement facility policies that are already legally in place and enforced legally by state and local agencies. Enforcing a smoking ban may make hesitant 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 recover in a completely drug and addiction free environment.
