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 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 advantages of such restrictions. A person who is addicted to a substance that could very well kill them immediately might not agree to go to treatment if they have to quit smoking cigarettes, so therefore, many programs in Carrollton allow smoking with some restrictions, limitations and in designated areas of their facility.
Some rehab centers permit clients to smoke anywhere, provides it is outdoors for example. Some facilities have a designated smoking area, which is the only area that clients are allowed to smoke in. Because nicotine is an addictive substance, even rehab centers that have a designated area and allow smoking typically offer alternatives to smoking if the client wants to quit, such as nicotine patches, nicotine gum and prescriptions. There are also programs that allow smoking in designated areas, but provide education 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 consider. In rehab centers which permit smoking in designated areas this is sometimes only allowed for clients, and staff are sometimes banned from smoking at the facility or are asked to not smoke in front of clients.
Publicly funded substance abuse treatment centers 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 rehabilitation centers have a bit more tolerance and don't have as many restrictions imposed on them, so they be more likely to offer designated areas for smoking.
