It is a fact that clients in rehabilitation for substance abuse are much more likely to be smokers, 75% in fact. With that being said few centers handle the problem as a main addiction, even though the fact that helping people quit smoking while in rehab is associated with a 25 percent higher chance the client will stay free from substance abuse. As a result, there are 'smoking not allowed' drug treatment centers in Smokerun that implement a smoking ban and most of them also offer treatment for nicotine addiction.
While total smoking bans are not normal, more and more facilities are actually starting to enforce their own bans, but also state and local tobacco-free workplace mandates attempt to make facilities completely smoke free. In doing so, 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. Enforcing a complete ban on smoking may make hesitant 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 recover in a completely drug and addiction free environment.
