It is estimated that around 75% of clients at residential rehab facilities for drug addiction and alcoholism are smokers. While it is true that nicotine is an addictive substance and clients in rehab for addiction should endeavor to be free from all addictive substances, this can introduce problems that make enforcing a non-smoking facility outweigh the advantages of this restriction. A person who is addicted to a substance as life threatening as drugs and alcohol might not get help if they must quit smoking cigarettes, so therefore, many facilities in Durant allow smoking with certain limitations, restrictions and in designated areas of their facility.
Some facilities permit clients to smoke anywhere, as long as it is outside for instance. Some facilities have a designated smoking area, and this is the only area that clients can smoke. Because nicotine is addictive, even rehab centers that allow smoking usually provide alternatives to smoking if the client wants to quit, such as nicotine replacement gum, patches and prescriptions. There are also rehab centers 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 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 banned from smoking at the center or are asked to not smoke in front of clients.
Publicly funded drug and alcohol treatment programs are obligated by the rules and restrictions in regards to smoking that are imposed by state and federal agencies which oversee and administer these programs. Private treatment centers have a bit more leeway and don't have as many rules imposed on them, so may be more likely to offer designated areas for smoking.
