It is a known fact that individuals in rehab for drug and alcohol addiction are more likely to be smokers, 75 percent in fact. As such very few centers address the situation as a main addiction, even though the fact that helping individuals quit smoking tobacco during treatment is associated with a 25% greater chance the individual will stay sober from alcohol and drugs. Because of this, there are 'smoking not allowed' drug rehabilitation programs in Ithaca that implement a smoking ban and most of them also offer treatment for nicotine addiction.
While complete bans on smoking are definitely not normal, more and more programs are beginning to enforce their own bans, but also state and local tobacco-free workplace mandates attempt 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. Enforcing a smoking ban may make hesitant potential clients who smoke starting treatment. In the meantime, it will help those who do choose a smoking not allowed substance abuse rehab program be better able to get sober in a completely drug and addiction free environment.
