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 strive to be abstinent 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 many facilities in Tollesboro allow smoking with some limitations, restrictions and in designated areas.
Some rehab centers permit clients to smoke anywhere, provides it is outside for instance. Some programs have a designated smoking area, which is the only area that clients are allowed to smoke in. Because nicotine is an addictive substance, even treatment programs that allow smoking commonly introduce 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 education or by offering informational literature for clients to consider. In programs which allow smoking in designated areas this is typically only approved for clients, and staff are often banned from smoking at the facility or are encouraged to not smoke in front of clients.
Publicly funded drug and alcohol treatment programs 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 treatment facilities have a bit more leeway and don't have as many rules and restrictions imposed on them, so may be more likely to offer designated areas for smoking.
