It is estimated that around 75% of clients at residential treatment facilities for drug and alcohol addiction are smokers. While it is a fact that nicotine is addicting and people in rehab for addiction should endeavor to be abstinent from all addictive substances, this can introduce problems that make enforcing a smoking ban outweigh the benefits of this restriction. A person who is addicted to a substance that could very well kill them immediately might not agree to go to treatment if they must quit smoking cigarettes, so many rehab centers in Linden allow smoking with certain limitations, restrictions and in designated areas.
Some facilities permit clients to smoke anywhere, so long as it is outdoors 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 allow smoking typically offer 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 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 offering informational literature for clients to consider. In rehab centers which allow smoking in designated areas this is typically only approved for clients, and staff are sometimes restricted from smoking at the center or are asked to not smoke in front of clients.
Publicly funded drug and alcohol treatment centers are bound by the rules and restrictions in regards to smoking that are imposed by state and federal agencies which oversee and administer these programs. Private treatment centers have a bit more tolerance and don't have as many restrictions imposed on them, so they be more likely to offer designated areas for smoking.
