It is estimated that approximately 75% of clients at residential rehabilitation facilities for drug and alcohol addiction are smokers. While it is a fact that nicotine is an addictive substance and people in any sort of treatment for addiction should strive to be abstinent from all addictive substances, this can introduce problems that make enforcing a smoking ban outweigh the benefits of such restrictions. Someone who is addicted to a substance as life threatening as drugs and alcohol might not get help if they have to quit smoking cigarettes, so therefore, many rehab centers in Hermosa allow smoking with some limitations, restrictions and in designated areas.
Some programs permit clients to smoke anywhere, provides it is outside 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 rehab facilities that have a designated area and allow smoking usually provide alternatives to smoking if the client wants to quit, such as nicotine replacement gum, patches and prescriptions. There are also facilities which 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 education or by providing informational literature for clients to examine. In rehab centers which permit smoking in designated areas this is typically only approved for clients, whereas staff are often restricted from smoking at the facility 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 enforced by state and federal agencies which oversee and administer these programs. Private rehabilitation programs have a little more tolerance and don't have as many rules imposed on them, so they be more likely to offer designated areas for smoking.
