It is estimated that around 75% of clients at residential rehab facilities for drug addiction and alcoholism are smokers. While it is a fact that nicotine is addicting and clients in any sort of treatment for addiction should endeavor to be abstinent from all addictive substances, this can present problems that make enforcing a smoking ban outweigh the benefits of such restrictions. A person who is addicted to a substance that could very well kill them immediately might not get help if they have to quit smoking cigarettes, so therefore, many rehab centers in Swea City allow smoking with certain limitations, restrictions and in designated areas.
Some facilities allow clients to smoke anywhere, provides it is outside for example. Some rehab centers have a designated smoking area, which is the only place that clients can smoke. Due to the fact that nicotine is addictive, even rehab programs that allow smoking usually 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 incorporating this into their program either by way of direct one on one counseling or by providing educational literature for clients to examine. In programs which allow smoking in designated areas this is typically only authorized for clients, and staff are sometimes restricted from smoking at the center or are encouraged to not smoke in front of clients.
Publicly funded drug rehabilitation programs are obligated by the rules and restrictions in regards to smoking that are imposed by state and federal agencies which oversee and administer these programs. Private rehab facilities 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.
