It is estimated that around 75% of clients at residential treatment programs for drug addiction and alcoholism are smokers. While it is a fact that nicotine is addicting and clients in any sort of treatment for addiction should endeavor to be free from all addictive substances, this can present problems that make enforcing a smoking ban outweigh the benefits of such restrictions. A person who is addicted to a substance that could very well kill them immediately might not agree to get help if they have to quit smoking cigarettes, so many facilities in Mc Kenzie allow smoking with some limitations, restrictions and in designated areas of their facility.
Some facilities permit clients to smoke anywhere, so long as it is outdoors for example. Some programs have a designated smoking area, and this is the only area that clients are allowed to smoke in. Due to the fact that nicotine is an addictive substance, even treatment programs that allow smoking commonly provide 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 incorporating this into their program either by way of direct education or by offering informational literature for clients to examine. In facilities which allow smoking in designated areas this is sometimes only authorized for clients, whereas staff are often restricted from smoking at the center or are asked to not smoke in front of clients.
Publicly funded substance abuse 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 treatment programs have a little more leeway and don't have as many rules imposed on them, so may be more likely to offer designated areas for smoking.
