It is estimated that approximately 75% of clients at residential rehab programs for drug and alcohol addiction are smokers. While it is true that nicotine is addicting and clients in rehab for addiction should strive to be free from all addictive substances, this can introduce problems that make enforcing a smoking ban outweigh the advantages of this restriction. A person who is addicted to a substance that could very well kill them immediately might not agree to get help if they must quit smoking cigarettes, so therefore, many rehab centers in Hillsboro allow smoking with certain limitations, restrictions and in designated areas of their facility.
Some facilities allow clients to smoke anywhere, as long as it is outdoors for example. Some rehab centers have a designated smoking area, and this is the only place that clients can smoke. Because nicotine is addictive, even treatment centers 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 that permit smoking in designated areas, but provide education 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 educational literature for clients to examine. In programs which allow smoking in designated areas this is typically only authorized for clients, whereas staff are often banned from smoking at the center or are asked to not smoke in front of clients.
Publicly funded drug treatment 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 rehabilitation facilities have a little more tolerance and don't have as many rules and restrictions imposed on them, so they be more likely to provide designated areas for smoking.
