It is estimated that approximately 75% of clients at residential rehab programs for drug addiction and alcoholism are smokers. While it is true that nicotine is addicting and people in any sort of treatment for addiction should endeavor to be abstinent 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 that could very well kill them immediately might not get help if they have to quit smoking cigarettes, so many facilities in Salt Lick allow smoking with some restrictions, limitations and in designated areas.
Some rehab centers allow clients to smoke anywhere, so long as it is outside for instance. Some programs have a designated smoking area, which is the only area that clients can smoke. Due to the fact that nicotine is an addictive substance, even treatment facilities that allow smoking typically offer alternatives to smoking if the client wants to quit, such as nicotine replacement gum, patches and prescriptions. There are also facilities that allow 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 examine. In programs which allow smoking in designated areas this is sometimes only approved for clients, whereas staff are often banned from smoking at the center or are asked to not smoke in front of clients.
Publicly funded addiction rehab facilities are bound 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 programs have a little more tolerance and don't have as many rules imposed on them, so may be more likely to provide designated areas for smoking.
