It is estimated that approximately 75% of clients at residential rehabilitation facilities for drug addiction and alcoholism are smokers. While it is a fact that nicotine is addicting and clients in rehab for addiction should endeavor to be abstinent from all addictive substances, this can present problems that make enforcing a smoking ban outweigh the advantages of such restrictions. Someone who is addicted to a substance that could very well kill them immediately might not get help if they have to quit smoking cigarettes, so many rehab centers in Lanett allow smoking with certain limitations, restrictions and in designated areas of their facility.
Some facilities allow clients to smoke anywhere, so long as it is outside for instance. Some programs have a designated smoking area, which is the only place that clients are allowed to smoke in. Because nicotine is an addictive substance, even treatment programs that allow smoking usually offer alternatives to smoking if the client wants to quit, such as nicotine replacement gum, patches and prescriptions. There are also facilities which allow smoking in designated areas, but educate clients on the health risks associated with smoking by incorporating this into their program either by way of direct education or by offering educational literature for clients to consider. In facilities which permit smoking in designated areas this is typically only allowed for clients, and staff are often banned from smoking at the center or are encouraged to not smoke in front of clients.
Publicly funded drug and alcohol rehabilitation facilities are bound by the rules and restrictions in regards to smoking that are enforced by state and federal agencies which oversee and administer these programs. Private treatment facilities have a little more leeway and don't have as many restrictions imposed on them, so they be more likely to provide designated areas for smoking.
