It is estimated that around 75% of clients at residential rehab programs for drug and alcohol addiction are smokers. While it is a fact that nicotine is addicting and clients in rehab for addiction should strive to be abstinent from all addictive substances, this can present problems that make enforcing a non-smoking facility outweigh the benefits of this restriction. Someone who is addicted to a substance as life threatening as drugs and alcohol might not get help if they have to quit smoking cigarettes, so many rehab centers in Chattahoochee allow smoking with certain limitations, restrictions and in designated areas.
Some rehab centers allow 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 programs that allow smoking typically offer alternatives to smoking if the client wants to quit, such as nicotine replacement gum, patches and prescriptions. There are also facilities that allow 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 providing educational literature for clients to examine. In facilities which permit smoking in designated areas this is sometimes only allowed 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 bound 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 little more leeway and don't have as many restrictions imposed on them, so they be more likely to offer designated areas for smoking.
