It is a fact that clients in treatment for alcohol and/or drug addiction are more likely to smoke tobacco, 75% in fact. As such few programs handle the problem as a main addiction, even though the fact that helping individuals stop smoking while in rehab is associated with a 25% higher chance they will remain free from substance abuse. Because of this, there are 'smoking not allowed' drug rehab programs in St. Thomas that implement a smoking ban and most of them also provide nicotine addiction treatment.
While total bans on smoking are not normal, an increasing number of centers are actually starting to enforce their own bans, but also state and local tobacco-free workplace mandates angle to make rehabs 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 ban on smoking may deter potential clients who smoke starting treatment. In the meantime, it will help those who do choose a smoking not allowed substance abuse rehab center be better able to recover in a completely addiction and drug free environment.
