It is estimated that around 75% of clients at residential treatment centers for drug and alcohol addiction are smokers. While it is a fact that nicotine is addicting and people in rehab for addiction should strive to be abstinent from all addictive substances, this can introduce problems that make enforcing a smoking ban outweigh the benefits of such restrictions. 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 programs in Wallis allow smoking with certain restrictions, limitations and in designated areas.
Some rehab centers allow clients to smoke anywhere, so long as it is outdoors for instance. Some rehab centers have a designated smoking area, and this is the only place that clients are allowed to smoke in. Because nicotine is addictive, even rehab programs that allow smoking commonly introduce alternatives to smoking if the client would like to consider this as an option, such as nicotine replacement gum, patches and prescriptions. There are also rehab centers which allow 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 one on one counseling or by offering educational literature for clients to examine. In programs which allow smoking in designated areas this is sometimes only approved for clients, whereas staff are often banned from smoking at the facility or are encouraged to not smoke in front of clients.
Publicly funded drug rehabilitation programs are obligated 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 facilities 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.
