It is a fact that individuals in treatment for alcohol and/or drug addiction are much more likely to smoke tobacco, 75 percent in fact. With that being said few centers address the problem as a main addiction, despite the fact that helping clients stop smoking while in rehab is associated with a 25 percent greater chance the client will stay sober from alcohol and drugs. Because of this, there are 'smoking not allowed' drug rehab centers in Opelousas that enforce a smoking ban and most of them also offer treatment for nicotine addiction.
While complete bans on smoking are definitely not the norm, more and more programs are actually beginning to implement their own bans, but also state and local tobacco-free workplace mandates attempt to make rehabs completely smoke-free environments. In so doing, these mandates avoid the need to develop and implement facility policies that are already legally in place and enforced legally by state and local agencies. Implementing a complete smoking ban 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 get sober in a completely addiction and drug free environment.
