It is a fact that clients in rehab for drug and alcohol addiction are more likely to be smokers, 75 percent in fact. As such few programs handle the situation as a main addiction, even though the fact that helping people quit smoking while in treatment is associated with a 25% greater chance the individual will remain free from substance abuse. Because of this, there are 'smoking not allowed' drug rehabilitation facilities in Berkeley Heights that enforce 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 facilities are beginning to enforce their own bans, but also state and local tobacco-free workplace mandates angle to make facilities 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. Enforcing a complete ban on smoking may make hesitant potential clients who smoke starting treatment. At the same time it will help those who do choose a no smoking alcohol and/or drug addiction rehab program be better able to get sober in a completely drug and addiction free environment.
