It is estimated that approximately 75% of clients at residential treatment programs for drug and alcohol addiction are smokers. While it is a fact that nicotine is addicting and clients in rehab for addiction should endeavor 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 go to treatment if they must quit smoking cigarettes, so many facilities in Napaskiak allow smoking with some limitations, restrictions and in designated areas of their facility.
Some programs permit clients to smoke anywhere, provides 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 rehab facilities that allow smoking typically offer alternatives to smoking if the client wants to quit, such as nicotine replacement gum, patches and prescriptions. There are also rehab centers 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 providing educational literature for clients to consider. In programs which allow smoking in designated areas this is typically only authorized for clients, and staff are often restricted from smoking at the facility or are asked to not smoke in front of clients.
Publicly funded drug treatment 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 facilities have a little more tolerance and don't have as many restrictions imposed on them, so they be more likely to offer designated areas for smoking.
