It is estimated that around 75% of clients at residential rehab centers for drug and alcohol addiction are smokers. While it is a fact that nicotine is an addictive substance and people in rehab for addiction should endeavor to be free from all addictive substances, this can introduce problems that make enforcing a non-smoking facility outweigh the benefits of this restriction. Someone who is addicted to a substance as life threatening as drugs and alcohol might not get help if they must quit smoking cigarettes, so therefore, many rehab centers in De Mossville allow smoking with some restrictions, limitations and in designated areas of their facility.
Some programs allow clients to smoke anywhere, as long as it is outdoors for instance. Some programs have a designated smoking area, and this is the only place that clients can smoke. Because nicotine is addictive, even rehab facilities that allow smoking commonly provide alternatives to smoking if the client wants to quit, such as nicotine patches, nicotine gum and prescriptions. There are also facilities which allow smoking in designated areas, but provide education on the health risks associated with smoking by incorporating this into their program either by way of direct education or by offering educational literature for clients to examine. In facilities which permit smoking in designated areas this is sometimes only authorized for clients, whereas staff are often restricted 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 treatment programs have a bit more leeway and don't have as many rules and restrictions imposed on them, so may be more likely to provide designated areas for smoking.
