It is a known fact that individuals in treatment for substance abuse are more likely to be smokers, 75% in fact. With that being said very few facilities handle the situation as a primary addiction, even though the fact that helping people stop smoking during rehab is associated with a 25% greater possibility they will remain free from substance abuse. As a result, there are 'smoking not allowed' drug treatment centers in Scranton that implement a smoking ban and most of them also offer treatment for nicotine addiction.
While total smoking bans are definitely not normal, an increasing number of rehabs are starting to implement their own bans, but also state and local tobacco-free workplace mandates attempt 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 complete ban on smoking may deter potential clients who smoke starting treatment. At the same time 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.
