It is estimated that approximately 75% of clients at residential rehab centers 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 smoking ban outweigh the advantages of such restrictions. A person who is addicted to a substance as life threatening as drugs and alcohol might not agree to get help if they have to quit smoking cigarettes, so therefore, many rehab centers in Nunam Iqua allow smoking with some limitations, restrictions and in designated areas.
Some programs permit clients to smoke anywhere, so long as it is outside for example. Some facilities have a designated smoking area, which is the only place that clients are allowed to smoke in. Because nicotine is addictive, even rehab centers that have a designated area and allow smoking commonly introduce alternatives to smoking if the client wants to quit, such as nicotine replacement gum, patches and prescriptions. There are also programs which allow 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 informational literature for clients to examine. In rehab centers which permit smoking in designated areas this is typically only approved for clients, whereas staff are often restricted from smoking at the center or are asked to not smoke in front of clients.
Publicly funded drug and alcohol treatment facilities 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 rules imposed on them, so may be more likely to provide designated areas for smoking.
