It is estimated that around 75% of clients at residential rehabilitation facilities for drug and alcohol addiction are smokers. While it is true that nicotine is addicting and people in any sort of treatment for addiction should strive to be free from all addictive substances, this can present problems that make enforcing a smoking ban outweigh the advantages of such restrictions. Someone 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 Loma allow smoking with certain restrictions, limitations and in designated areas of their facility.
Some facilities allow clients to smoke anywhere, as long as it is outside for example. Some facilities have a designated smoking area, which is the only area that clients can smoke. Because nicotine is addictive, even treatment centers that have a designated area and allow smoking commonly offer alternatives to smoking if the client wants to quit, such as nicotine replacement gum, patches and prescriptions. There are also facilities which allow 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 permit smoking in designated areas this is typically only authorized for clients, and staff are often restricted from smoking at the center or are asked to not smoke in front of clients.
Publicly funded addiction rehab facilities are bound 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 tolerance and don't have as many rules imposed on them, so may be more likely to offer designated areas for smoking.
