It is a fact that individuals in treatment for drug and alcohol addiction are more likely to be smokers, 75% in fact. As such very few facilities 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 percent greater chance the individual will stay sober from alcohol and drugs. As a result, there are 'smoking not allowed' drug rehabilitation programs in Boston that implement a smoking ban and most of them also provide treatment for nicotine addiction.
While complete bans on smoking are definitely not the norm, more and more facilities are starting to implement their own bans, but also state and local tobacco-free workplace mandates angle to make facilities completely smoke free. 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 complete ban on smoking may deter potential clients who smoke starting treatment. In the meantime, it will help those who do choose a smoking not allowed alcohol and/or drug addiction rehab program be better able to recover in a completely drug and addiction free environment.
