It is a known fact that people in treatment for substance abuse are much more likely to be smokers, 75 percent in fact. As such very few facilities address the situation as a main addiction, despite the fact that helping people quit smoking while in rehab is associated with a 25% greater chance the individual will stay sober from drugs and alcohol. Because of this, there are 'smoking not allowed' drug rehabilitation centers in Austin that implement a smoking ban and most of them also offer treatment for nicotine addiction.
While total bans on smoking are definitely not the norm, more and more centers are 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, these mandates avoid the need to develop and enforce facility policies that are already legally in place and enforced legally by state and local agencies. Enforcing a 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 drug and alcohol addiction rehab center be better able to get sober in a completely addiction and drug free environment.
