It is estimated that approximately 75% of clients at residential treatment facilities for drug addiction and alcoholism are smokers. While it is true that nicotine is addicting and clients in any sort of treatment for addiction should strive to be free from all addictive substances, this can present 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 go to treatment if they have to quit smoking cigarettes, so many rehab centers in Elkhart 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 addictive, even treatment programs that allow smoking typically provide alternatives to smoking if the client wants to quit, such as nicotine patches, nicotine gum and prescriptions. There are also facilities that permit 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 providing informational literature for clients to consider. In rehab centers which permit smoking in designated areas this is typically only approved for clients, and staff are often banned from smoking at the center or are asked to not smoke in front of clients.
Publicly funded drug rehabilitation facilities are obligated 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 facilities have a little more tolerance and don't have as many restrictions imposed on them, so may be more likely to offer designated areas for smoking.
