It is estimated that around 75% of clients at residential treatment centers for drug addiction and alcoholism are smokers. While it is a fact that nicotine is an addictive substance and clients in rehab for addiction should strive to be free 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 that could very well kill them immediately might not go to treatment if they must quit smoking cigarettes, so therefore, many facilities in Corrigan allow smoking with some restrictions, limitations and in designated areas.
Some rehab centers allow clients to smoke anywhere, as long as it is outdoors for example. Some rehab centers have a designated smoking area, which is the only place that clients can smoke. Because nicotine is an addictive substance, even treatment facilities that have a designated area and allow smoking usually offer alternatives to smoking if the client wants to quit, such as nicotine replacement gum, patches and prescriptions. There are also programs that permit 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 providing educational literature for clients to consider. In facilities which allow smoking in designated areas this is typically only authorized for clients, whereas staff are sometimes restricted from smoking at the facility or are asked to not smoke in front of clients.
Publicly funded drug treatment facilities 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 rehab centers have a bit more tolerance and don't have as many restrictions imposed on them, so they be more likely to provide designated areas for smoking.
