It is estimated that approximately 75% of clients at residential rehabilitation centers for drug and alcohol addiction are smokers. While it is true that nicotine is an addictive substance and people in any sort of treatment for addiction should strive to be abstinent from all addictive substances, this can present 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 agree to get help if they have to quit smoking cigarettes, so therefore, many facilities in Altamonte Springs allow smoking with certain limitations, restrictions and in designated areas.
Some programs permit clients to smoke anywhere, provides it is outdoors for example. Some rehab centers 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 usually provide alternatives to smoking if the client would like to consider this as an option, such as nicotine patches, nicotine gum and prescriptions. There are also rehab centers which 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 education or by offering educational literature for clients to examine. In facilities which permit smoking in designated areas this is sometimes only allowed for clients, and staff are often restricted from smoking at the center or are encouraged to not smoke in front of clients.
Publicly funded addiction rehabilitation programs 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 programs have a little more tolerance and don't have as many rules and restrictions imposed on them, so may be more likely to provide designated areas for smoking.
