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 people in rehab for addiction should strive to be free from all addictive substances, this can introduce problems that make enforcing a smoking ban outweigh the benefits of such restrictions. Someone who is addicted to a substance as life threatening as drugs and alcohol might not go to treatment if they must quit smoking cigarettes, so many facilities in Lake Geneva allow smoking with certain restrictions, limitations and in designated areas.
Some facilities allow clients to smoke anywhere, so long as it is outdoors for instance. Some rehab centers have a designated smoking area, which is the only area that clients can smoke. Due to the fact that nicotine is an addictive substance, even rehab centers that allow smoking typically offer 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 facilities which allow smoking in designated areas, but educate clients on the health risks associated with smoking by including this into their program either by way of direct one on one counseling or by offering educational literature for clients to examine. In programs which permit smoking in designated areas this is sometimes only approved for clients, whereas staff are often banned from smoking at the facility or are asked to not smoke in front of clients.
Publicly funded addiction rehabilitation facilities 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 rehabilitation programs have a little more leeway and don't have as many rules imposed on them, so they be more likely to provide designated areas for smoking.
