It is estimated that around 75% of clients at residential treatment programs for drug and alcohol addiction are smokers. While it is a fact that nicotine is an addictive substance and people in rehab for addiction should strive to be abstinent from all addictive substances, this can introduce problems that make enforcing a non-smoking facility outweigh the benefits of such restrictions. A person who is addicted to a substance as life threatening as drugs and alcohol might not go to treatment if they have to quit smoking cigarettes, so many rehab centers in Iliamna allow smoking with certain restrictions, limitations and in designated areas.
Some rehab centers permit clients to smoke anywhere, provides it is outside for instance. Some programs 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 programs that allow smoking typically 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 which permit smoking in designated areas, but educate clients on the health risks associated with smoking by including this into their program either by way of direct education or by providing educational literature for clients to consider. In facilities which permit smoking in designated areas this is sometimes only allowed for clients, and staff are often restricted from smoking at the center or are asked to not smoke in front of clients.
Publicly funded drug treatment programs are obligated by the rules and restrictions in regards to smoking that are imposed 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 may be more likely to provide designated areas for smoking.
