It is estimated that approximately 75% of clients at residential treatment centers for drug addiction and alcoholism are smokers. While it is a fact that nicotine is addicting and people in rehab for addiction should strive 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 go to treatment if they must quit smoking cigarettes, so therefore, many programs in Steele allow smoking with some limitations, restrictions and in designated areas.
Some programs allow clients to smoke anywhere, so long as it is outside for instance. Some facilities 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 facilities that allow smoking commonly offer alternatives to smoking if the client would like to consider this as an option, 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 integrating this into their program either by way of direct one on one counseling or by providing informational literature for clients to examine. In programs which allow smoking in designated areas this is sometimes only authorized for clients, and staff are often restricted from smoking at the facility or are encouraged to not smoke in front of clients.
Publicly funded drug rehabilitation centers 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 rehab centers have a little more tolerance and don't have as many rules imposed on them, so they be more likely to offer designated areas for smoking.
