It is estimated that approximately 75% of clients at residential treatment facilities for drug and alcohol addiction are smokers. While it is a fact that nicotine is addicting and clients in rehab for addiction should strive to be abstinent from all addictive substances, this can present problems that make enforcing a non-smoking facility outweigh the benefits of this restriction. Someone who is addicted to a substance that could very well kill them immediately might not agree to get help if they have to quit smoking cigarettes, so many programs in Luther allow smoking with certain limitations, restrictions and in designated areas of their facility.
Some rehab centers allow 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. Due to the fact that nicotine is addictive, even rehab programs that allow smoking typically offer alternatives to smoking if the client wants to quit, such as nicotine replacement gum, patches and prescriptions. There are also rehab centers which allow smoking in designated areas, but educate clients on the health risks associated with smoking by integrating this into their program either by way of direct one on one counseling or by offering educational literature for clients to consider. In rehab centers which allow smoking in designated areas this is sometimes only approved for clients, whereas staff are sometimes restricted from smoking at the facility or are encouraged to not smoke in front of clients.
Publicly funded drug and alcohol treatment centers 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 treatment programs have a bit more tolerance and don't have as many restrictions imposed on them, so may be more likely to offer designated areas for smoking.
