It is a known fact that people in treatment for substance abuse are more likely to be smokers, 75% in fact. With that being said few centers address the problem as a primary addiction, despite the fact that helping clients stop smoking during rehab is associated with a 25% higher chance the client will stay sober from alcohol and drugs. As a result, there are 'smoking not allowed' drug rehab centers in Wounded Knee that enforce a smoking ban and most of them also offer nicotine addiction treatment.
While total bans on smoking are definitely not normal, more and more rehabs are actually starting to enforce their own bans, but also state and local tobacco-free workplace mandates angle to make facilities completely smoke free. In so doing, they bypass 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 smoking ban may make hesitant potential clients who smoke starting treatment. In the meantime, it will help those who do choose a smoking not allowed substance abuse rehab program be better able to recover in a completely drug and addiction free environment.
