It is estimated that around 75% of clients at residential rehabilitation programs for drug addiction and alcoholism are smokers. While it is a fact that nicotine is addicting and people in any sort of treatment 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 such restrictions. A person who is addicted to a substance as life threatening as drugs and alcohol might not agree to get help if they have to quit smoking cigarettes, so many programs in Howey In The Hills allow smoking with some restrictions, limitations and in designated areas.
Some rehab centers allow clients to smoke anywhere, so long as it is outside for instance. Some facilities have a designated smoking area, and this is the only area that clients are allowed to smoke in. Because nicotine is addictive, even treatment facilities 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 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 informational literature for clients to examine. In programs which allow smoking in designated areas this is typically only authorized for clients, whereas staff are often restricted from smoking at the facility or are encouraged to not smoke in front of clients.
Publicly funded addiction rehabilitation centers 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 treatment centers have a little more tolerance and don't have as many rules imposed on them, so they be more likely to offer designated areas for smoking.
