It is estimated that around 75% of clients at residential rehab centers for drug and alcohol addiction are smokers. While it is a fact that nicotine is an addictive substance and people in rehab for addiction should strive to be free from all addictive substances, this can introduce problems that make enforcing a smoking ban outweigh the benefits 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 therefore, many facilities in Hardaway allow smoking with certain restrictions, limitations and in designated areas.
Some rehab centers allow clients to smoke anywhere, so long as it is outside for instance. Some rehab centers have a designated smoking area, and this is the only area that clients can smoke. Due to the fact that nicotine is an addictive substance, even treatment facilities that have a designated area and allow smoking commonly offer alternatives to smoking if the client wants to quit, such as nicotine patches, nicotine gum and prescriptions. There are also rehab centers which allow smoking in designated areas, but provide education on the health risks associated with smoking by integrating this into their program either by way of direct education or by providing educational literature for clients to consider. In rehab centers which permit smoking in designated areas this is typically only authorized for clients, whereas staff are sometimes banned from smoking at the facility or are asked to not smoke in front of clients.
Publicly funded drug treatment programs 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 little more tolerance and don't have as many rules imposed on them, so may be more likely to offer designated areas for smoking.
