It is estimated that approximately 75% of clients at residential rehab facilities for drug and alcohol addiction are smokers. While it is true that nicotine is an addictive substance and people in rehab for addiction should endeavor to be abstinent from all addictive substances, this can introduce problems that make enforcing a smoking ban outweigh the benefits of this restriction. Someone who is addicted to a substance as life threatening as drugs and alcohol might not get help if they must quit smoking cigarettes, so therefore, many programs in Manchester allow smoking with certain limitations, restrictions and in designated areas of their facility.
Some programs permit clients to smoke anywhere, provides it is outside for example. Some rehab centers have a designated smoking area, which is the only area that clients can smoke. Because nicotine is an addictive substance, even treatment centers 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 facilities 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 informational literature for clients to examine. In programs which permit smoking in designated areas this is sometimes only allowed for clients, and staff are sometimes banned from smoking at the facility or are asked to not smoke in front of clients.
Publicly funded drug treatment 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 treatment facilities have a little more tolerance and don't have as many restrictions imposed on them, so they be more likely to offer designated areas for smoking.
