It is estimated that around 75% of clients at residential treatment programs for drug addiction and alcoholism are smokers. While it is true that nicotine is addicting and clients in rehab for addiction should endeavor to be abstinent from all addictive substances, this can introduce problems that make enforcing a non-smoking facility outweigh the benefits of this restriction. Someone who is addicted to a substance that could very well kill them immediately might not go to treatment if they must quit smoking cigarettes, so many rehab centers in Mims allow smoking with some limitations, restrictions and in designated areas.
Some facilities allow clients to smoke anywhere, provides it is outside for instance. Some programs have a designated smoking area, which is the only area that clients are allowed to smoke in. Because nicotine is an addictive substance, even treatment centers that allow smoking commonly offer alternatives to smoking if the client would like to consider this as an option, such as nicotine replacement gum, patches and prescriptions. There are also programs that 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 facilities which permit smoking in designated areas this is typically only allowed for clients, and staff are sometimes banned from smoking at the center or are asked to not smoke in front of clients.
Publicly funded addiction treatment facilities are obligated by the rules and restrictions in regards to smoking that are imposed by state and federal agencies which oversee and administer these programs. Private rehabilitation facilities 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.
