It is estimated that approximately 75% of clients at residential treatment facilities for drug addiction and alcoholism 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 non-smoking facility outweigh the benefits of such restrictions. A person 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 programs in Robertsdale allow smoking with certain restrictions, limitations and in designated areas.
Some programs permit clients to smoke anywhere, so long as it is outdoors for example. Some facilities have a designated smoking area, and this is the only place that clients can smoke. Because nicotine is addictive, even rehab facilities that allow smoking commonly introduce alternatives to smoking if the client would like to consider this as an option, such as nicotine replacement gum, patches and prescriptions. There are also rehab centers which 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 one on one counseling or by providing informational literature for clients to consider. In programs which permit smoking in designated areas this is sometimes only approved for clients, and staff are often banned from smoking at the facility or are encouraged to not smoke in front of clients.
Publicly funded substance abuse 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 programs have a bit more leeway and don't have as many rules imposed on them, so they be more likely to provide designated areas for smoking.
