It is a known fact that individuals in treatment for alcohol and/or drug addiction are more likely to be smokers, 75 percent in fact. With that being said few programs address the situation as a primary addiction, even though the fact that helping clients stop smoking during rehab is associated with a 25% greater chance they will stay free from substance abuse. Because of this, there are 'smoking not allowed' drug rehab centers in Brainerd that implement a smoking ban and most of them also offer nicotine addiction treatment.
While total bans on smoking are definitely not the norm, an increasing number of programs are actually beginning to enforce their own bans, but also state and local tobacco-free workplace mandates attempt to make facilities completely smoke-free environments. In doing so, these mandates 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 smoking ban 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 center be better able to get sober in a completely drug and addiction free environment.
