It is estimated that approximately 75% of clients at residential rehab facilities for drug and alcohol addiction are smokers. While it is a fact 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 advantages 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 facilities in Eagle Lake allow smoking with some restrictions, limitations and in designated areas of their facility.
Some programs permit clients to smoke anywhere, provides it is outside for instance. Some facilities have a designated smoking area, which is the only place that clients can smoke. Due to the fact that nicotine is addictive, even treatment centers that allow smoking usually offer alternatives to smoking if the client wants to quit, such as nicotine replacement gum, patches and prescriptions. There are also facilities that 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 education or by providing educational literature for clients to consider. In rehab centers which allow smoking in designated areas this is typically only authorized for clients, whereas staff are sometimes banned from smoking at the facility or are encouraged to not smoke in front of clients.
Publicly funded addiction rehab programs 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 rehabilitation centers have a little more tolerance and don't have as many restrictions imposed on them, so they be more likely to provide designated areas for smoking.
