It is estimated that approximately 75% of clients at residential treatment programs for drug and alcohol addiction are smokers. While it is a fact that nicotine is addicting and clients in rehab for addiction should endeavor to be abstinent from all addictive substances, this can introduce problems that make enforcing a non-smoking facility outweigh the advantages of such restrictions. 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 programs in Otley allow smoking with certain restrictions, limitations and in designated areas.
Some rehab centers allow clients to smoke anywhere, so long as it is outdoors for instance. Some rehab centers have a designated smoking area, and this is the only place that clients can smoke. Because nicotine is an addictive substance, even treatment facilities that allow smoking typically introduce alternatives to smoking if the client wants to quit, such as nicotine replacement gum, patches and prescriptions. There are also facilities that 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 consider. In facilities which permit smoking in designated areas this is typically only approved for clients, and staff are often restricted from smoking at the center or are encouraged to not smoke in front of clients.
Publicly funded drug rehab facilities 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 centers have a little more leeway and don't have as many restrictions imposed on them, so they be more likely to provide designated areas for smoking.
