It is a known fact that people in treatment for drug and alcohol addiction are much more likely to smoke tobacco, 75 percent in fact. As such very few programs address the situation as a main addiction, even though the fact that helping individuals stop smoking while in treatment is associated with a 25 percent greater chance the client will stay sober from drugs and alcohol. Because of this, there are 'smoking not allowed' drug treatment facilities in Alexandria that enforce a smoking ban and most of them also offer nicotine addiction treatment.
While total smoking bans are definitely not the norm, an increasing number of rehabs are starting to enforce their own bans, but also state and local tobacco-free workplace mandates attempt to make facilities completely smoke-free environments. In so doing, 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 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 program be better able to recover in a completely addiction and drug free environment.
