It is a fact that clients in rehab for alcohol and/or drug addiction are much more likely to smoke tobacco, 75% in fact. As such few facilities address the situation as a main addiction, despite the fact that helping individuals stop smoking tobacco while in treatment is associated with a 25% higher chance the individual will remain sober from drugs and alcohol. As a result, there are 'smoking not allowed' drug treatment facilities in Madison that implement a smoking ban and most of them also offer nicotine addiction treatment.
While total bans on smoking are definitely not the norm, more and more rehabs are actually starting to enforce their own bans, but also state and local tobacco-free workplace mandates attempt to make rehabs completely smoke-free environments. 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 smoking not allowed substance abuse rehab facility be better able to get sober in a completely drug and addiction free environment.
