It is estimated that around 75% of clients at residential rehabilitation centers for drug and alcohol addiction are smokers. While it is a fact that nicotine is addicting and people in any sort of treatment for addiction should strive to be free from all addictive substances, this can present problems that make enforcing a non-smoking facility outweigh the benefits of such restrictions. A person who is addicted to a substance as life threatening as drugs and alcohol might not go to treatment if they have to quit smoking cigarettes, so many rehab centers in Klemme allow smoking with certain restrictions, limitations and in designated areas.
Some programs permit clients to smoke anywhere, as long as it is outdoors for instance. Some rehab centers have a designated smoking area, which is the only area that clients are allowed to smoke in. Because nicotine is addictive, even treatment programs that allow smoking typically offer alternatives to smoking if the client wants to quit, such as nicotine patches, nicotine gum and prescriptions. There are also facilities which permit 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 informational literature for clients to examine. In facilities which permit smoking in designated areas this is typically only allowed for clients, whereas staff are often restricted from smoking at the center or are asked to not smoke in front of clients.
Publicly funded addiction rehab 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 rehabilitation programs have a bit more tolerance and don't have as many rules imposed on them, so may be more likely to offer designated areas for smoking.
