It is estimated that around 75% of clients at residential treatment facilities for drug and alcohol addiction are smokers. While it is true that nicotine is an addictive substance and clients 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 such restrictions. Someone who is addicted to a substance as life threatening as drugs and alcohol might not agree to get help if they must quit smoking cigarettes, so many facilities in Mayersville allow smoking with some restrictions, limitations and in designated areas.
Some rehab centers permit clients to smoke anywhere, so long as it is outdoors for example. Some programs have a designated smoking area, and this is the only area that clients are allowed to smoke in. Because nicotine is an addictive substance, even treatment centers that allow smoking commonly offer alternatives to smoking if the client wants to quit, such as nicotine patches, nicotine gum and prescriptions. There are also rehab centers 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 informational 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 center or are asked to not smoke in front of clients.
Publicly funded drug rehab facilities are obligated 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 facilities have a little more leeway and don't have as many restrictions imposed on them, so they be more likely to provide designated areas for smoking.
