It is estimated that approximately 75% of clients at residential rehab programs for drug and alcohol addiction are smokers. While it is a fact that nicotine is addicting and people 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. A person who is addicted to a substance that could very well kill them immediately might not agree to go to treatment if they have to quit smoking cigarettes, so therefore, many facilities in Beaver allow smoking with some limitations, restrictions and in designated areas.
Some rehab centers permit clients to smoke anywhere, provides it is outdoors for instance. Some rehab centers have a designated smoking area, and this is the only area that clients can smoke. Because nicotine is addictive, even rehab programs that allow smoking commonly 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 that 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 one on one counseling or by offering informational literature for clients to consider. In programs which permit smoking in designated areas this is sometimes only approved for clients, whereas staff are sometimes restricted from smoking at the facility or are asked to not smoke in front of clients.
Publicly funded drug and alcohol rehab 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 programs have a bit more tolerance and don't have as many restrictions imposed on them, so may be more likely to provide designated areas for smoking.
