It is a known fact that individuals in treatment for drug and alcohol addiction are much more likely to smoke tobacco, 75% in fact. As such very few programs address the problem as a primary addiction, even though the fact that helping people stop smoking tobacco during rehab is associated with a 25% higher chance the individual will remain sober from drugs and alcohol. Because of this, there are 'smoking not allowed' drug treatment facilities in Iona that implement a smoking ban and most of them also offer treatment for nicotine addiction.
While complete bans on smoking are definitely not the norm, an increasing number of programs are actually beginning to implement their own bans, but also state and local tobacco-free workplace mandates angle to make rehabs completely smoke free. In so doing, they 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 smoking ban may make hesitant 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 recover in a completely drug and addiction free environment.
