It is a known fact that people in treatment for drug and alcohol addiction are more likely to be smokers, 75 percent in fact. As such few centers address the problem as a main addiction, even though the fact that helping individuals stop smoking while in rehab is associated with a 25 percent higher chance the client will remain sober from drugs and alcohol. Because of this, there are 'smoking not allowed' drug treatment programs in Atlanta that enforce a smoking ban and most of them also offer nicotine addiction treatment.
While complete smoking bans are definitely not normal, an increasing number of programs are starting 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 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. In the meantime, it will help those who do choose a no smoking alcohol and/or drug addiction rehab center be better able to get sober in a completely addiction and drug free environment.
