It is estimated that approximately 75% of clients at residential rehab centers for drug and alcohol addiction are smokers. While it is true that nicotine is an addictive substance and people 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 this restriction. A person who is addicted to a substance as life threatening as drugs and alcohol might not get help if they have to quit smoking cigarettes, so many facilities in Kingsland allow smoking with some limitations, restrictions and in designated areas.
Some programs permit clients to smoke anywhere, provides it is outside for instance. Some rehab centers have a designated smoking area, and this is the only area that clients are allowed to smoke in. Because nicotine is an addictive substance, even treatment centers that allow smoking usually introduce 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 programs which permit 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 informational literature for clients to examine. In programs which permit smoking in designated areas this is sometimes only approved for clients, and staff are sometimes restricted from smoking at the center or are asked to not smoke in front of clients.
Publicly funded drug rehab 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 treatment centers have a bit more tolerance and don't have as many rules and restrictions imposed on them, so may be more likely to offer designated areas for smoking.
