It is estimated that approximately 75% of clients at residential rehabilitation facilities for drug addiction and alcoholism are smokers. While it is true that nicotine is addicting and clients 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 such restrictions. Someone who is addicted to a substance that could very well kill them immediately might not get help if they must quit smoking cigarettes, so many rehab centers in Sunflower allow smoking with certain restrictions, limitations and in designated areas.
Some rehab centers permit clients to smoke anywhere, so long as it is outside for example. Some programs have a designated smoking area, and this is the only area that clients can smoke. Because nicotine is addictive, even rehab programs that allow smoking usually offer 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 facilities that allow smoking in designated areas, but educate clients on the health risks associated with smoking by incorporating this into their program either by way of direct one on one counseling or by providing educational literature for clients to examine. In facilities which allow smoking in designated areas this is sometimes only approved for clients, whereas staff are often banned from smoking at the facility or are encouraged to not smoke in front of clients.
Publicly funded drug and alcohol treatment programs are bound by the rules and restrictions in regards to smoking that are enforced by state and federal agencies which oversee and administer these programs. Private rehabilitation centers have a little more leeway and don't have as many rules imposed on them, so they be more likely to provide designated areas for smoking.
