It is a fact that clients in rehabilitation for drug and alcohol addiction are much more likely to be smokers, 75 percent in fact. As such few facilities address the situation as a primary addiction, despite the fact that helping individuals stop smoking during treatment is associated with a 25 percent greater chance they will stay sober from drugs and alcohol. As a result, there are 'smoking not allowed' drug rehabilitation programs in Salem that implement a smoking ban and most of them also offer treatment for nicotine addiction.
While complete smoking bans are definitely not the norm, an increasing number of rehabs are actually beginning to implement their own bans, but also state and local tobacco-free workplace mandates angle to make facilities completely smoke free. In doing so, 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 ban on smoking may make hesitant potential clients who smoke starting treatment. At the same time it will help those who do choose a smoking not allowed alcohol and/or drug addiction rehab program be better able to recover in a completely addiction and drug free environment.
