It is estimated that around 75% of clients at residential treatment facilities for drug addiction and alcoholism are smokers. While it is a fact 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 smoking ban outweigh the benefits of this restriction. A person who is addicted to a substance that could very well kill them immediately might not get help if they must quit smoking cigarettes, so therefore, many facilities in Nisland allow smoking with some restrictions, limitations and in designated areas of their facility.
Some facilities permit clients to smoke anywhere, so long as it is outside for example. Some rehab centers have a designated smoking area, which is the only area that clients are allowed to smoke in. Because nicotine is addictive, even rehab centers that have a designated area and 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 allow smoking in designated areas, but educate clients on the health risks associated with smoking by incorporating this into their program either by way of direct one on one counseling or by offering informational literature for clients to examine. In programs which allow smoking in designated areas this is typically only allowed for clients, whereas staff are often banned from smoking at the center or are encouraged to not smoke in front of clients.
Publicly funded addiction rehabilitation centers are obligated by the rules and restrictions in regards to smoking that are imposed by state and federal agencies which oversee and administer these programs. Private treatment centers have a bit more leeway and don't have as many rules imposed on them, so they be more likely to offer designated areas for smoking.
