It is estimated that around 75% of clients at residential rehab facilities for drug addiction and alcoholism are smokers. While it is true that nicotine is addicting and people in rehab 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. Someone who is addicted to a substance as life threatening as drugs and alcohol might not agree to get help if they must quit smoking cigarettes, so therefore, many facilities in Farnsworth allow smoking with some limitations, restrictions and in designated areas.
Some rehab centers permit clients to smoke anywhere, as long as it is outdoors for example. Some facilities have a designated smoking area, and this is the only place that clients are allowed to smoke in. Because nicotine is an addictive substance, even treatment programs that 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 incorporating this into their program either by way of direct one on one counseling or by providing informational literature for clients to consider. In rehab centers which permit smoking in designated areas this is sometimes only authorized for clients, and staff are often restricted from smoking at the center or are asked to not smoke in front of clients.
Publicly funded drug and alcohol rehabilitation centers are bound 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 facilities have a little more tolerance and don't have as many restrictions imposed on them, so they be more likely to provide designated areas for smoking.
