It is estimated that around 75% of clients at residential rehab programs for drug and alcohol addiction are smokers. While it is true that nicotine is addicting and people in any sort of treatment for addiction should strive 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 that could very well kill them immediately might not agree to get help if they have to quit smoking cigarettes, so many programs in Redford allow smoking with certain restrictions, limitations and in designated areas of their facility.
Some programs permit clients to smoke anywhere, so long as it is outside for instance. Some facilities have a designated smoking area, which is the only area that clients can smoke. Because nicotine is addictive, even treatment programs that have a designated area and allow smoking commonly introduce alternatives to smoking if the client wants to quit, such as nicotine patches, nicotine gum and prescriptions. There are also programs which allow smoking in designated areas, but provide education 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 consider. In programs which permit smoking in designated areas this is sometimes only approved 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 rehab programs 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 rehab programs have a bit more tolerance and don't have as many rules imposed on them, so may be more likely to provide designated areas for smoking.
