It is estimated that around 75% of clients at residential rehab centers for drug and alcohol addiction are smokers. While it is true that nicotine is addicting and people in rehab for addiction should strive to be free from all addictive substances, this can introduce problems that make enforcing a smoking ban outweigh the advantages of this restriction. 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 therefore, many rehab centers in Spragueville allow smoking with some limitations, restrictions and in designated areas of their facility.
Some facilities allow clients to smoke anywhere, provides it is outside for instance. Some rehab centers have a designated smoking area, and this is the only place that clients can smoke. Due to the fact that nicotine is an addictive substance, even treatment programs that have a designated area and allow smoking commonly offer alternatives to smoking if the client wants to quit, such as nicotine replacement gum, patches and prescriptions. There are also facilities which allow 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 education or by providing educational literature for clients to examine. In programs which allow smoking in designated areas this is typically only allowed for clients, whereas staff are sometimes banned from smoking at the facility or are asked to not smoke in front of clients.
Publicly funded drug treatment centers 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 rehab programs have a bit more tolerance and don't have as many rules imposed on them, so they be more likely to provide designated areas for smoking.
