It is a known fact that individuals in rehab for drug and alcohol addiction are much more likely to smoke tobacco, 75% in fact. As such very few facilities handle the situation as a primary addiction, despite the fact that helping individuals quit smoking during rehab is associated with a 25 percent higher chance the individual will remain sober from drugs and alcohol. As a result, there are 'smoking not allowed' drug rehabilitation programs in San Antonio that implement a smoking ban and most of them also provide treatment for nicotine addiction.
While total smoking bans are definitely not normal, more and more centers are beginning to implement their own bans, but also state and local tobacco-free workplace mandates angle to make facilities completely smoke free. In doing so, 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 no smoking drug and alcohol addiction rehab center be better able to recover in a completely drug and addiction free environment.
