It is estimated that around 75% of clients at residential rehabilitation centers for drug addiction and alcoholism are smokers. While it is a fact that nicotine is an addictive substance and people in any sort of treatment for addiction should endeavor to be free from all addictive substances, this can present problems that make enforcing a smoking ban outweigh the benefits of this restriction. Someone who is addicted to a substance that could very well kill them immediately might not go to treatment if they have to quit smoking cigarettes, so therefore, many facilities in Corydon allow smoking with certain restrictions, limitations and in designated areas of their facility.
Some programs allow clients to smoke anywhere, provides it is outdoors for example. Some programs have a designated smoking area, which is the only area that clients can smoke. Due to the fact that nicotine is an addictive substance, even treatment facilities that have a designated area and allow smoking usually introduce alternatives to smoking if the client wants to quit, such as nicotine patches, nicotine gum and prescriptions. There are also programs which permit smoking in designated areas, but provide education on the health risks associated with smoking by including this into their program either by way of direct education or by providing educational literature for clients to consider. In rehab centers 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 rehabilitation facilities 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 programs have a little more leeway and don't have as many rules and restrictions imposed on them, so they be more likely to provide designated areas for smoking.
