It is estimated that around 75% of clients at residential rehabilitation facilities for drug and alcohol addiction 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 non-smoking facility outweigh the benefits of such restrictions. Someone who is addicted to a substance as life threatening as drugs and alcohol might not agree to get help if they have to quit smoking cigarettes, so many facilities in Kempton allow smoking with certain restrictions, limitations and in designated areas.
Some rehab centers allow clients to smoke anywhere, as long as it is outside for instance. Some facilities 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 rehab facilities that allow smoking usually provide alternatives to smoking if the client wants to quit, such as nicotine patches, nicotine gum and prescriptions. There are also facilities that allow smoking in designated areas, but educate clients on the health risks associated with smoking by including this into their program either by way of direct one on one counseling or by offering informational literature for clients to examine. In rehab centers which allow smoking in designated areas this is typically only approved for clients, and staff are sometimes banned from smoking at the center or are encouraged to not smoke in front of clients.
Publicly funded drug and alcohol rehabilitation programs 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 rehabilitation facilities have a bit more leeway and don't have as many restrictions imposed on them, so may be more likely to provide designated areas for smoking.
