It is estimated that around 75% of clients at residential treatment facilities for drug addiction and alcoholism are smokers. While it is true that nicotine is an addictive substance and clients in rehab for addiction should endeavor to be abstinent from all addictive substances, this can present problems that make enforcing a smoking ban outweigh the advantages of such restrictions. Someone who is addicted to a substance as life threatening as drugs and alcohol might not agree to go to treatment if they have to quit smoking cigarettes, so therefore, many rehab centers in Hawley allow smoking with certain restrictions, limitations and in designated areas of their facility.
Some facilities permit clients to smoke anywhere, so long as it is outside for instance. Some programs have a designated smoking area, and this is the only place that clients can smoke. Because nicotine is an addictive substance, even rehab facilities that allow smoking usually provide alternatives to smoking if the client would like to consider this as an option, such as nicotine patches, nicotine gum and prescriptions. There are also rehab centers that allow smoking in designated areas, but educate clients on the health risks associated with smoking by integrating this into their program either by way of direct education or by providing educational literature for clients to consider. In facilities which permit smoking in designated areas this is typically only approved for clients, whereas staff are sometimes restricted from smoking at the center or are encouraged to not smoke in front of clients.
Publicly funded addiction rehab 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 facilities 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.
