It is estimated that approximately 75% of clients at residential rehab facilities for drug addiction and alcoholism are smokers. While it is true that nicotine is addicting and people in any sort of treatment for addiction should strive to be free from all addictive substances, this can present problems that make enforcing a non-smoking facility outweigh the benefits of this restriction. Someone who is addicted to a substance that could very well kill them immediately might not go to treatment if they have to quit smoking cigarettes, so many rehab centers in Centreville allow smoking with certain limitations, restrictions and in designated areas.
Some facilities permit clients to smoke anywhere, so long as it is outside for example. Some facilities have a designated smoking area, which is the only area that clients are allowed to smoke in. Due to the fact that nicotine is an addictive substance, even rehab facilities that allow smoking typically offer alternatives to smoking if the client wants to quit, such as nicotine replacement gum, patches and prescriptions. There are also facilities that allow smoking in designated areas, but provide education on the health risks associated with smoking by including this into their program either by way of direct education or by providing informational literature for clients to examine. In rehab centers which allow smoking in designated areas this is sometimes only approved for clients, whereas staff are sometimes banned from smoking at the center or are asked to not smoke in front of clients.
Publicly funded addiction rehab programs are obligated by the rules and restrictions in regards to smoking that are imposed by state and federal agencies which oversee and administer these programs. Private rehab programs have a little more leeway and don't have as many restrictions imposed on them, so may be more likely to offer designated areas for smoking.
