It is estimated that around 75% of clients at residential treatment 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 strive to be abstinent from all addictive substances, this can introduce problems that make enforcing a non-smoking facility outweigh the benefits 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 must quit smoking cigarettes, so therefore, many facilities in Blue River allow smoking with certain restrictions, limitations and in designated areas of their facility.
Some programs allow clients to smoke anywhere, so long as it is outside for instance. Some facilities have a designated smoking area, and this is the only place that clients can smoke. Because nicotine is addictive, even rehab programs that allow smoking usually introduce alternatives to smoking if the client wants to quit, such as nicotine patches, nicotine gum and prescriptions. There are also facilities which permit smoking in designated areas, but educate clients on the health risks associated with smoking by integrating this into their program either by way of direct education or by providing informational literature for clients to consider. In rehab centers which permit smoking in designated areas this is typically only authorized for clients, and staff are often restricted from smoking at the facility or are asked to not smoke in front of clients.
Publicly funded addiction treatment facilities 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 treatment facilities have a bit more tolerance and don't have as many rules imposed on them, so they be more likely to offer designated areas for smoking.
