It is estimated that around 75% of clients at residential treatment programs 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 introduce problems that make enforcing a non-smoking facility outweigh the benefits 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 therefore, many programs in Stanton allow smoking with certain limitations, restrictions and in designated areas of their facility.
Some facilities permit clients to smoke anywhere, provides it is outdoors for instance. Some programs have a designated smoking area, which is the only area that clients can smoke. Because nicotine is addictive, even treatment programs that allow smoking commonly 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 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 examine. In facilities which allow smoking in designated areas this is sometimes only authorized for clients, and staff are often banned from smoking at the center or are asked to not smoke in front of clients.
Publicly funded substance abuse treatment facilities 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 rehabilitation programs have a bit more leeway and don't have as many restrictions imposed on them, so may be more likely to offer designated areas for smoking.
