It is a known fact that people in rehab for alcohol and/or drug addiction are much more likely to be smokers, 75% in fact. As such few facilities address the problem as a primary addiction, even though the fact that helping individuals quit smoking during rehab is associated with a 25% higher chance the individual will remain sober from drugs and alcohol. As a result, there are 'smoking not allowed' drug rehab facilities in Monterey that enforce a smoking ban and most of them also provide treatment for nicotine addiction.
While complete bans on smoking are definitely not the norm, an increasing number of facilities are beginning to implement their own bans, but also state and local tobacco-free workplace mandates angle to make facilities completely smoke free. In doing so, these mandates bypass the need to develop and enforce facility policies that are already legally in place and enforced legally by state and local agencies. Enforcing a ban on smoking may deter potential clients who smoke starting treatment. At the same time it will help those who do choose a no smoking substance abuse rehab facility be better able to get sober in a completely addiction and drug free environment.
