It is estimated that approximately 75% of clients at residential rehabilitation centers for drug and alcohol addiction are smokers. While it is true that nicotine is addicting and clients in any sort of treatment for addiction should endeavor to be abstinent from all addictive substances, this can present problems that make enforcing a smoking ban outweigh the benefits of such restrictions. Someone who is addicted to a substance as life threatening as drugs and alcohol might not get help if they must quit smoking cigarettes, so many programs in Leroy allow smoking with some limitations, restrictions and in designated areas of their facility.
Some programs allow clients to smoke anywhere, so long as it is outside for instance. Some programs have a designated smoking area, which is the only area that clients are allowed to smoke in. Because nicotine is addictive, even treatment facilities that have a designated area and allow smoking usually introduce 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 including this into their program either by way of direct education or by providing informational literature for clients to consider. In programs which allow smoking in designated areas this is typically only approved for clients, whereas staff are sometimes restricted from smoking at the center or are asked to not smoke in front of clients.
Publicly funded addiction rehabilitation 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 facilities have a bit more tolerance and don't have as many restrictions imposed on them, so they be more likely to provide designated areas for smoking.
