It is a known fact that clients in rehab for drug and alcohol addiction are more likely to be smokers, 75 percent in fact. With that being said few facilities handle the problem as a primary addiction, despite the fact that helping individuals stop smoking during rehab is associated with a 25% higher chance the client will remain sober from alcohol and drugs. Because of this, there are 'smoking not allowed' drug treatment centers in Brownsville that implement a smoking ban and most of them also provide treatment for nicotine addiction.
While complete bans on smoking are definitely not normal, an increasing number of facilities are beginning to implement their own bans, but also state and local tobacco-free workplace mandates attempt to make rehabs completely smoke-free environments. In doing so, they avoid the need to develop and implement 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 alcohol and/or drug addiction rehab facility be better able to get sober in a completely addiction and drug free environment.
