It is estimated that around 75% of clients at residential rehabilitation centers for drug and alcohol addiction are smokers. While it is true that nicotine is addicting and people in any sort of treatment for addiction should endeavor to be abstinent from all addictive substances, this can present problems that make enforcing a non-smoking facility outweigh the advantages of such restrictions. A person who is addicted to a substance as life threatening as drugs and alcohol might not go to treatment if they have to quit smoking cigarettes, so many facilities in Falkville allow smoking with some limitations, restrictions and in designated areas.
Some programs permit clients to smoke anywhere, provides it is outside for example. Some rehab centers 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 programs that allow smoking typically offer alternatives to smoking if the client wants to quit, such as nicotine patches, nicotine gum and prescriptions. There are also programs which allow smoking in designated areas, but provide education on the health risks associated with smoking by incorporating this into their program either by way of direct one on one counseling or by providing informational literature for clients to examine. In facilities which permit smoking in designated areas this is typically only allowed for clients, whereas staff are sometimes banned from smoking at the facility or are encouraged to not smoke in front of clients.
Publicly funded drug rehabilitation centers 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 rehab centers have a bit more tolerance and don't have as many rules imposed on them, so may be more likely to offer designated areas for smoking.
