It is estimated that around 75% of clients at residential rehabilitation facilities for drug addiction and alcoholism are smokers. While it is a fact 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 present problems that make enforcing a smoking ban outweigh the advantages of this restriction. Someone who is addicted to a substance as life threatening as drugs and alcohol might not agree to go to treatment if they must quit smoking cigarettes, so many facilities in Yamhill allow smoking with some limitations, restrictions and in designated areas.
Some rehab centers permit clients to smoke anywhere, as long as it is outside for example. Some facilities have a designated smoking area, and this is the only area that clients can smoke. Because nicotine is an addictive substance, even treatment centers that allow smoking typically provide alternatives to smoking if the client wants to quit, such as nicotine replacement gum, patches 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 examine. In rehab centers which allow smoking in designated areas this is typically only allowed for clients, and staff are often restricted from smoking at the facility or are asked to not smoke in front of clients.
Publicly funded addiction rehab facilities are bound 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 programs have a bit more tolerance and don't have as many rules imposed on them, so may be more likely to provide designated areas for smoking.
