It is a known fact that people in rehab for substance abuse are more likely to be smokers, 75% in fact. As such very few centers handle the situation as a primary addiction, despite the fact that helping individuals quit smoking tobacco during treatment is associated with a 25% greater possibility they will remain free from substance abuse. As a result, there are 'smoking not allowed' drug rehab programs in Gainesville that implement a smoking ban and most of them also offer treatment for nicotine addiction.
While total smoking bans are definitely not normal, 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 so doing, these mandates bypass the need to develop and enforce facility policies that are already legally in place and enforced legally by state and local agencies. Implementing 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 substance abuse rehab center be better able to get sober in a completely drug and addiction free environment.
