It is a fact that people in treatment for alcohol and/or drug addiction are much more likely to be smokers, 75 percent in fact. As such very few programs address the situation as a primary addiction, despite the fact that helping clients quit smoking during rehab is associated with a 25% higher possibility the client will stay sober from alcohol and drugs. Because of this, there are 'smoking not allowed' drug treatment centers in Hazard that implement a smoking ban and most of them also provide nicotine addiction treatment.
While total bans on smoking are definitely not the norm, more and more centers are beginning to enforce their own bans, but also state and local tobacco-free workplace mandates attempt to make rehabs completely smoke free. In doing so, 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 ban on smoking may deter potential clients who smoke starting treatment. At the same time it will help those who do choose a smoking not allowed substance abuse rehab facility be better able to recover in a completely drug and addiction free environment.
