It is estimated that approximately 75% of clients at residential rehab programs for drug and alcohol addiction are smokers. While it is true that nicotine is addicting and clients in rehab for addiction should strive to be abstinent from all addictive substances, this can introduce problems that make enforcing a smoking ban 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 have to quit smoking cigarettes, so many facilities in South Naknek allow smoking with certain restrictions, limitations 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, which is the only place that clients are allowed to smoke in. Because nicotine is addictive, even rehab centers that allow smoking usually offer alternatives to smoking if the client would like to consider this as an option, 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 including this into their program either by way of direct education or by offering informational literature for clients to consider. In rehab centers which permit smoking in designated areas this is typically only approved for clients, and staff are often banned from smoking at the center or are encouraged to not smoke in front of clients.
Publicly funded substance abuse treatment centers 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 programs have a bit more leeway and don't have as many rules imposed on them, so may be more likely to offer designated areas for smoking.
