It is a known fact that clients in rehabilitation for substance abuse are much more likely to smoke tobacco, 75 percent in fact. As such few programs address the problem as a primary addiction, even though the fact that helping individuals quit smoking tobacco while in rehab is associated with a 25% greater chance they will stay sober from alcohol and drugs. As a result, there are 'smoking not allowed' drug treatment programs in Pottstown that implement a smoking ban and most of them also provide treatment for nicotine addiction.
While total smoking bans are not the norm, more and more rehabs are actually starting to enforce their own bans, but also state and local tobacco-free workplace mandates angle to make rehabs completely smoke-free environments. 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 deter potential clients who smoke starting treatment. In the meantime, it will help those who do choose a no smoking substance abuse rehab program be better able to get sober in a completely drug and addiction free environment.
