It is a fact that clients in rehabilitation for alcohol and/or drug addiction are much more likely to be smokers, 75 percent in fact. As such very few programs handle the situation as a main addiction, despite the fact that helping people quit smoking while in rehab is associated with a 25 percent greater chance the individual will remain sober from drugs and alcohol. As a result, there are 'smoking not allowed' drug treatment programs in Pittsburg that enforce a smoking ban and most of them also provide nicotine addiction treatment.
While total bans on smoking are definitely not normal, an increasing number of programs are actually starting to enforce their own bans, but also state and local tobacco-free workplace mandates attempt to make rehabs completely smoke-free environments. In so doing, these mandates avoid 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 smoking ban may deter potential clients who smoke starting treatment. In the meantime, it will help those who do choose a no smoking alcohol and/or drug addiction rehab facility be better able to recover in a completely drug and addiction free environment.
