It is estimated that approximately 75% of clients at residential rehabilitation facilities for drug addiction and alcoholism are smokers. While it is a fact 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 such restrictions. A person who is addicted to a substance that could very well kill them immediately might not agree to go to treatment if they must quit smoking cigarettes, so therefore, many facilities in North Concord allow smoking with some restrictions, limitations and in designated areas.
Some programs allow clients to smoke anywhere, provides it is outside for example. Some programs have a designated smoking area, which is the only place that clients are allowed to smoke in. Because nicotine is addictive, even rehab programs that allow smoking usually offer alternatives to smoking if the client wants to quit, such as nicotine patches, nicotine gum and prescriptions. There are also programs that permit 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 consider. In programs which permit smoking in designated areas this is sometimes only allowed for clients, whereas staff are sometimes restricted from smoking at the center or are encouraged to not smoke in front of clients.
Publicly funded drug and alcohol rehabilitation facilities 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 programs have a bit more leeway and don't have as many rules imposed on them, so they be more likely to provide designated areas for smoking.
