It is a known fact that individuals in rehabilitation for alcohol and/or drug addiction are more likely to be smokers, 75% in fact. With that being said very few facilities address the situation as a main addiction, even though the fact that helping people stop smoking during treatment is associated with a 25% greater chance they will remain sober from alcohol and drugs. Because of this, there are 'smoking not allowed' drug rehabilitation programs in Rockville that implement a smoking ban and most of them also provide treatment for nicotine addiction.
While total bans on smoking are not the norm, an increasing number of programs are starting to enforce their own bans, but also state and local tobacco-free workplace mandates angle to make rehabs completely smoke-free environments. In doing so, these mandates bypass the need to develop and implement facility policies that are already legally in place and enforced legally by state and local agencies. Implementing a ban on smoking may make hesitant potential clients who smoke starting treatment. In the meantime, it will help those who do choose a smoking not allowed drug and alcohol addiction rehab program be better able to get sober in a completely addiction and drug free environment.
