It is estimated that around 75% of clients at residential rehab programs for drug addiction and alcoholism are smokers. While it is a fact that nicotine is addicting and clients in rehab for addiction should strive to be free 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 as life threatening as drugs and alcohol might not agree to get help if they have to quit smoking cigarettes, so therefore, many facilities in Boxholm allow smoking with certain restrictions, limitations and in designated areas.
Some facilities permit clients to smoke anywhere, so long as it is outside for instance. Some programs have a designated smoking area, and this is the only place that clients are allowed to smoke in. Because nicotine is addictive, even treatment centers that have a designated area and allow smoking typically introduce alternatives to smoking if the client wants to quit, such as nicotine replacement gum, patches and prescriptions. There are also programs that 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 providing informational literature for clients to examine. In facilities which permit smoking in designated areas this is sometimes only allowed for clients, whereas staff are often banned from smoking at the center or are asked to not smoke in front of clients.
Publicly funded addiction rehab 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 centers have a bit more tolerance and don't have as many rules and restrictions imposed on them, so they be more likely to provide designated areas for smoking.
