It is estimated that approximately 75% of clients at residential treatment programs 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 free 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 must quit smoking cigarettes, so many rehab centers in Wilsonville allow smoking with certain restrictions, limitations and in designated areas of their facility.
Some programs permit clients to smoke anywhere, so long as it is outdoors for instance. Some programs have a designated smoking area, which is the only area that clients are allowed to smoke in. Because nicotine is addictive, even treatment programs that have a designated area and allow smoking usually offer 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 that allow smoking in designated areas, but educate clients on the health risks associated with smoking by integrating this into their program either by way of direct one on one counseling or by offering educational literature for clients to consider. In rehab centers which permit smoking in designated areas this is typically only authorized for clients, and staff are often banned from smoking at the center or are asked to not smoke in front of clients.
Publicly funded addiction treatment facilities 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 programs have a little more leeway and don't have as many rules imposed on them, so they be more likely to provide designated areas for smoking.
