It is estimated that approximately 75% of clients at residential rehab programs for drug addiction and alcoholism are smokers. While it is true that nicotine is addicting and people in rehab for addiction should endeavor to be free from all addictive substances, this can present problems that make enforcing a non-smoking facility outweigh the benefits of this restriction. Someone who is addicted to a substance as life threatening as drugs and alcohol might not go to treatment if they must quit smoking cigarettes, so many rehab centers in Palmyra allow smoking with some limitations, restrictions and in designated areas.
Some rehab centers allow clients to smoke anywhere, provides it is outdoors for example. Some programs have a designated smoking area, which is the only area that clients can smoke. Because nicotine is addictive, even treatment facilities that allow smoking usually offer 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 facilities which allow 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 one on one counseling or by offering educational literature for clients to consider. In programs which allow smoking in designated areas this is sometimes only approved 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 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 little more leeway and don't have as many rules and restrictions imposed on them, so may be more likely to offer designated areas for smoking.
