It is a known fact that clients in rehab for alcohol and/or drug addiction are more likely to smoke tobacco, 75% in fact. As such very few programs handle the problem as a primary addiction, even though the fact that helping individuals quit smoking tobacco while in rehab is associated with a 25% greater possibility they will stay sober from drugs and alcohol. Because of this, there are 'smoking not allowed' drug treatment programs in Waterloo that implement a smoking ban and most of them also offer treatment for nicotine addiction.
While total smoking bans are definitely not normal, more and more centers are actually starting to implement their own bans, but also state and local tobacco-free workplace mandates attempt to make rehabs completely smoke free. In doing so, they avoid the need to develop and enforce facility policies that are already legally in place and enforced legally by state and local agencies. Implementing a complete ban on smoking may make hesitant potential clients who smoke starting treatment. At the same time 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.
