It is a known fact that clients in treatment for alcohol and/or drug addiction are much more likely to be smokers, 75 percent in fact. As such very few facilities handle the situation as a main addiction, despite the fact that helping individuals stop smoking while in rehab is associated with a 25 percent greater possibility the client will remain sober from alcohol and drugs. As a result, there are 'smoking not allowed' drug treatment facilities in Monterey that enforce a smoking ban and most of them also provide nicotine addiction treatment.
While total smoking bans are not the norm, more and more rehabs are actually beginning to implement their own bans, but also state and local tobacco-free workplace mandates angle to make rehabs completely smoke free. In so doing, these mandates avoid the need to develop and implement facility policies that are already legally in place and enforced legally by state and local agencies. Enforcing a smoking ban 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 program be better able to recover in a completely drug and addiction free environment.
