It is a known fact that people in treatment for drug and alcohol addiction are more likely to be smokers, 75 percent in fact. As such very few programs address the problem as a primary addiction, despite the fact that helping people stop smoking while in rehab is associated with a 25 percent greater chance the individual will stay sober from alcohol and drugs. As a result, there are 'smoking not allowed' drug rehab centers in Hilo that enforce a smoking ban and most of them also provide treatment for nicotine addiction.
While complete bans on smoking are not normal, more and more facilities are starting to enforce their own bans, but also state and local tobacco-free workplace mandates attempt to make rehabs 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. Enforcing a ban on smoking may make hesitant potential clients who smoke starting treatment. In the meantime, it will help those who do choose a no smoking drug and alcohol addiction rehab center be better able to recover in a completely drug and addiction free environment.
