It is estimated that approximately 75% of clients at residential rehab centers for drug addiction and alcoholism are smokers. While it is a fact that nicotine is an addictive substance 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 this restriction. A person who is addicted to a substance as life threatening as drugs and alcohol might not agree to get help if they must quit smoking cigarettes, so therefore, many facilities in Newington allow smoking with some limitations, restrictions and in designated areas of their facility.
Some programs allow clients to smoke anywhere, so long as it is outdoors for example. Some facilities have a designated smoking area, which is the only area that clients are allowed to smoke in. Because nicotine is an addictive substance, even treatment facilities that have a designated area and allow smoking typically provide 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 which permit smoking in designated areas, but educate clients on the health risks associated with smoking by integrating this into their program either by way of direct one on one counseling or by offering educational literature for clients to examine. In facilities which allow smoking in designated areas this is sometimes only approved for clients, and staff are sometimes banned from smoking at the facility or are asked to not smoke in front of clients.
Publicly funded drug rehabilitation centers 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 treatment programs 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.
