It is a known fact that individuals in rehabilitation for substance abuse are much more likely to be smokers, 75 percent in fact. With that being said very few centers address the problem as a primary addiction, even though the fact that helping clients quit smoking while in rehab is associated with a 25 percent greater chance they will stay sober from alcohol and drugs. As a result, there are 'smoking not allowed' drug rehab centers in Luzerne that implement a smoking ban and most of them also offer treatment for nicotine addiction.
While total smoking bans are not normal, an increasing number of programs are starting to implement their own bans, but also state and local tobacco-free workplace mandates attempt to make facilities completely smoke free. In doing so, they avoid 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 smoking ban may deter 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 center be better able to recover in a completely drug and addiction free environment.
