It is estimated that around 75% of clients at residential treatment programs for drug and alcohol addiction are smokers. While it is a fact that nicotine is an addictive substance and clients in any sort of treatment for addiction should endeavor to be free from all addictive substances, this can introduce problems that make enforcing a smoking ban outweigh the benefits of such restrictions. 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 Crowville allow smoking with certain limitations, restrictions and in designated areas of their facility.
Some facilities allow clients to smoke anywhere, so long as it is outdoors for instance. Some programs have a designated smoking area, and this is the only area that clients can smoke. Because nicotine is addictive, even treatment facilities that have a designated area and 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 which allow 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 education or by offering educational literature for clients to consider. In facilities which permit smoking in designated areas this is typically only approved for clients, and staff are often banned from smoking at the center or are encouraged to not smoke in front of clients.
Publicly funded drug treatment programs are bound by the rules and restrictions in regards to smoking that are imposed by state and federal agencies which oversee and administer these programs. Private rehab centers have a bit more tolerance and don't have as many rules and restrictions imposed on them, so they be more likely to offer designated areas for smoking.
