It is estimated that approximately 75% of clients at residential treatment programs 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 endeavor to be free from all addictive substances, this can introduce problems that make enforcing a non-smoking facility outweigh the benefits of such restrictions. Someone who is addicted to a substance as life threatening as drugs and alcohol might not agree to get help if they must quit smoking cigarettes, so many facilities in Cold Bay allow smoking with certain limitations, restrictions and in designated areas of their facility.
Some rehab centers permit clients to smoke anywhere, as long as it is outdoors for example. Some facilities have a designated smoking area, and this is the only area that clients can smoke. Due to the fact that nicotine is addictive, even treatment facilities that allow smoking typically introduce 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 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 examine. In rehab centers which allow smoking in designated areas this is typically only authorized for clients, and staff are often banned from smoking at the center or are encouraged to not smoke in front of clients.
Publicly funded drug rehab 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 centers have a bit more leeway and don't have as many restrictions imposed on them, so they be more likely to provide designated areas for smoking.
