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 rehab for addiction should endeavor to be free from all addictive substances, this can present problems that make enforcing a non-smoking facility outweigh the benefits of this restriction. A person who is addicted to a substance as life threatening as drugs and alcohol might not go to treatment if they have to quit smoking cigarettes, so many rehab centers in Juntura allow smoking with certain restrictions, limitations and in designated areas of their facility.
Some rehab centers allow clients to smoke anywhere, as long as it is outside for instance. Some programs have a designated smoking area, and this is the only area that clients can smoke. Because nicotine is addictive, even rehab facilities that have a designated area and allow smoking usually 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 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 programs which allow smoking in designated areas this is sometimes only approved for clients, whereas staff are sometimes banned from smoking at the center or are encouraged to not smoke in front of clients.
Publicly funded drug rehab programs 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 facilities have a little 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.
