It is estimated that around 75% of clients at residential rehab centers for drug addiction and alcoholism are smokers. While it is a fact that nicotine is addicting and people in any sort of treatment for addiction should strive to be free from all addictive substances, this can present problems that make enforcing a non-smoking facility outweigh the advantages of this restriction. A person who is addicted to a substance that could very well kill them immediately might not go to treatment if they must quit smoking cigarettes, so therefore, many programs in Sparta allow smoking with some restrictions, limitations and in designated areas.
Some rehab centers allow clients to smoke anywhere, provides it is outside for example. Some programs have a designated smoking area, and this is the only place that clients can smoke. Because nicotine is addictive, even rehab centers that have a designated area and allow smoking usually offer alternatives to smoking if the client would like to consider this as an option, such as nicotine replacement gum, patches and prescriptions. There are also programs which allow smoking in designated areas, but educate clients on the health risks associated with smoking by including this into their program either by way of direct one on one counseling or by providing educational literature for clients to consider. In facilities which permit smoking in designated areas this is typically only approved for clients, and staff are sometimes banned from smoking at the facility or are encouraged to not smoke in front of clients.
Publicly funded drug and alcohol rehab 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 rehab centers have a little more leeway and don't have as many rules imposed on them, so they be more likely to offer designated areas for smoking.
