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 addicting and clients in any sort of treatment for addiction should strive to be abstinent from all addictive substances, this can present problems that make enforcing a non-smoking facility outweigh the benefits of such restrictions. Someone who is addicted to a substance that could very well kill them immediately might not agree to go to treatment if they have to quit smoking cigarettes, so therefore, many programs in Gleneden Beach allow smoking with some limitations, restrictions and in designated areas.
Some rehab centers permit clients to smoke anywhere, as long as it is outdoors for instance. Some programs have a designated smoking area, which is the only place that clients can smoke. Because nicotine is addictive, even rehab programs 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 facilities 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 education or by offering informational literature for clients to consider. In programs which allow smoking in designated areas this is sometimes only authorized for clients, whereas staff are sometimes restricted from smoking at the center or are encouraged to not smoke in front of clients.
Publicly funded drug rehab centers 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 rehabilitation 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.
