It is estimated that approximately 75% of clients at residential rehabilitation centers 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 introduce problems that make enforcing a smoking ban outweigh the benefits of this restriction. A person who is addicted to a substance that could very well kill them immediately might not go to treatment if they have to quit smoking cigarettes, so many rehab centers in Cuttingsville allow smoking with certain restrictions, limitations and in designated areas.
Some programs allow clients to smoke anywhere, provides it is outside for instance. Some facilities have a designated smoking area, which is the only area that clients can smoke. Due to the fact that nicotine is an addictive substance, 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 programs that allow smoking in designated areas, but educate clients on the health risks associated with smoking by integrating this into their program either by way of direct education or by providing educational literature for clients to consider. In rehab centers which allow smoking in designated areas this is typically only approved for clients, whereas staff are sometimes banned from smoking at the center or are asked to not smoke in front of clients.
Publicly funded drug treatment centers 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 rehab facilities have a little more leeway and don't have as many rules imposed on them, so they be more likely to provide designated areas for smoking.
