It is estimated that approximately 75% of clients at residential treatment centers for drug and alcohol addiction are smokers. While it is a fact that nicotine is addicting and clients in rehab for addiction should endeavor to be free from all addictive substances, this can introduce problems that make enforcing a non-smoking facility outweigh the advantages 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 Woden allow smoking with some limitations, restrictions and in designated areas.
Some programs permit clients to smoke anywhere, so long as it is outside for example. Some rehab centers have a designated smoking area, and this is the only area that clients can smoke. Because nicotine is addictive, even treatment programs that allow smoking typically offer 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 provide education on the health risks associated with smoking by incorporating this into their program either by way of direct education or by offering educational literature for clients to consider. In facilities which allow smoking in designated areas this is sometimes only authorized for clients, and staff are sometimes banned from smoking at the center or are asked to not smoke in front of clients.
Publicly funded drug and alcohol rehabilitation facilities 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 facilities have a bit more tolerance and don't have as many restrictions imposed on them, so they be more likely to provide designated areas for smoking.
