It is estimated that approximately 75% of clients at residential treatment centers for drug and alcohol addiction are smokers. While it is true that nicotine is an addictive substance and people 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 such restrictions. Someone who is addicted to a substance as life threatening as drugs and alcohol might not get help if they have to quit smoking cigarettes, so many rehab centers in Nashua allow smoking with some restrictions, limitations and in designated areas of their facility.
Some facilities allow clients to smoke anywhere, as long as it is outdoors for example. Some programs have a designated smoking area, which is the only area that clients are allowed to smoke in. Due to the fact that nicotine is an addictive substance, even treatment 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 facilities 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 offering informational literature for clients to examine. In programs which allow smoking in designated areas this is typically only authorized for clients, whereas staff are often restricted from smoking at the center or are asked to not smoke in front of clients.
Publicly funded drug and alcohol rehab programs 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 centers have a bit more leeway and don't have as many restrictions imposed on them, so they be more likely to provide designated areas for smoking.
