It is estimated that around 75% of clients at residential rehabilitation programs for drug addiction and alcoholism are smokers. While it is true that nicotine is an addictive substance and people in rehab for addiction should strive to be abstinent from all addictive substances, this can introduce problems that make enforcing a non-smoking facility 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 many rehab centers in Edom allow smoking with certain limitations, restrictions and in designated areas of their facility.
Some facilities allow clients to smoke anywhere, so long as it is outdoors for instance. Some rehab centers have a designated smoking area, and this is the only place that clients are allowed to smoke in. Due to the fact that nicotine is addictive, even treatment centers that have a designated area and allow smoking commonly introduce alternatives to smoking if the client wants to quit, such as nicotine replacement gum, patches and prescriptions. There are also facilities that allow smoking in designated areas, but educate clients on the health risks associated with smoking by including this into their program either by way of direct education or by providing educational literature for clients to consider. In rehab centers which permit smoking in designated areas this is typically only allowed for clients, whereas staff are often banned from smoking at the facility or are asked to not smoke in front of clients.
Publicly funded addiction 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 rehab centers have a bit more leeway and don't have as many restrictions imposed on them, so may be more likely to provide designated areas for smoking.
