It is estimated that around 75% of clients at residential rehabilitation centers for drug and alcohol addiction are smokers. While it is true that nicotine is addicting and people in rehab for addiction should endeavor to be abstinent from all addictive substances, this can introduce problems that make enforcing a smoking ban outweigh the benefits of such restrictions. A person 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 rehab centers in Clay City allow smoking with some restrictions, limitations and in designated areas.
Some rehab centers allow clients to smoke anywhere, provides it is outside for instance. Some programs have a designated smoking area, and this is the only place that clients are allowed to smoke in. Due to the fact that nicotine is addictive, even rehab facilities that have a designated area and allow smoking usually introduce alternatives to smoking if the client wants to quit, such as nicotine replacement gum, patches and prescriptions. There are also programs that 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 educational literature for clients to consider. In facilities which allow smoking in designated areas this is sometimes only approved for clients, whereas staff are often banned from smoking at the facility or are asked to not smoke in front of clients.
Publicly funded substance abuse treatment programs 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 centers have a little more tolerance and don't have as many rules and restrictions imposed on them, so may be more likely to offer designated areas for smoking.
