It is estimated that approximately 75% of clients at residential treatment facilities for drug and alcohol addiction are smokers. While it is a fact that nicotine is addicting and clients in any sort of treatment for addiction should endeavor to be free from all addictive substances, this can introduce problems that make enforcing a smoking ban outweigh the benefits of this restriction. A person who is addicted to a substance as life threatening as drugs and alcohol might not agree to get help if they have to quit smoking cigarettes, so many rehab centers in Boykin allow smoking with some limitations, restrictions and in designated areas.
Some facilities permit clients to smoke anywhere, provides it is outside for example. Some programs have a designated smoking area, which is the only place that clients are allowed to smoke in. Due to the fact that nicotine is an addictive substance, even treatment facilities that allow smoking commonly provide alternatives to smoking if the client wants to quit, such as nicotine patches, nicotine gum and prescriptions. There are also rehab centers that allow smoking in designated areas, but educate clients on the health risks associated with smoking by integrating this into their program either by way of direct one on one counseling or by providing informational literature for clients to consider. In programs which allow smoking in designated areas this is typically only approved for clients, and staff are sometimes banned from smoking at the facility or are encouraged to not smoke in front of clients.
Publicly funded addiction rehab facilities are obligated by the rules and restrictions in regards to smoking that are enforced by state and federal agencies which oversee and administer these programs. Private rehabilitation programs have a bit more leeway and don't have as many restrictions imposed on them, so they be more likely to offer designated areas for smoking.
