It is estimated that approximately 75% of clients at residential rehabilitation facilities for drug addiction and alcoholism are smokers. While it is true that nicotine is an addictive substance and clients in rehab for addiction should strive to be abstinent from all addictive substances, this can present problems that make enforcing a non-smoking facility 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 have to quit smoking cigarettes, so many rehab centers in Klawock allow smoking with certain restrictions, limitations and in designated areas.
Some programs permit clients to smoke anywhere, as long as it is outdoors for instance. Some rehab centers have a designated smoking area, and this is the only place that clients can smoke. Because nicotine is addictive, even rehab facilities that allow smoking usually provide alternatives to smoking if the client wants to quit, such as nicotine replacement gum, patches and prescriptions. There are also programs 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 offering educational literature for clients to consider. In programs which allow smoking in designated areas this is sometimes only approved for clients, and staff are often banned from smoking at the center or are asked to not smoke in front of clients.
Publicly funded drug rehabilitation centers 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 rehabilitation centers have a little more leeway and don't have as many restrictions imposed on them, so may be more likely to provide designated areas for smoking.
