It is estimated that around 75% of clients at residential treatment centers for drug and alcohol addiction are smokers. While it is true that nicotine is an addictive substance and people in any sort of treatment for addiction should strive to be free from all addictive substances, this can introduce problems that make enforcing a non-smoking facility outweigh the advantages of this restriction. A person who is addicted to a substance that could very well kill them immediately might not agree to get help if they must quit smoking cigarettes, so therefore, many facilities in Maryneal allow smoking with certain restrictions, limitations and in designated areas of their facility.
Some rehab centers allow clients to smoke anywhere, as long as it is outdoors for example. Some facilities have a designated smoking area, which is the only place that clients can smoke. Because nicotine is addictive, even treatment programs that allow smoking typically provide alternatives to smoking if the client wants to quit, such as nicotine patches, nicotine gum 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 education or by providing educational literature for clients to examine. In programs which allow smoking in designated areas this is typically only authorized for clients, whereas staff are often restricted from smoking at the facility or are asked to not smoke in front of clients.
Publicly funded drug and alcohol treatment facilities 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 rules and restrictions imposed on them, so may be more likely to provide designated areas for smoking.
