It is estimated that approximately 75% of clients at residential treatment programs for drug addiction and alcoholism are smokers. While it is true 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 non-smoking facility outweigh the benefits of such restrictions. Someone who is addicted to a substance that could very well kill them immediately might not agree to get help if they must quit smoking cigarettes, so therefore, many facilities in Shalimar allow smoking with certain limitations, restrictions and in designated areas of their facility.
Some programs permit clients to smoke anywhere, provides it is outdoors for example. Some facilities have a designated smoking area, and this is the only place that clients are allowed to smoke in. Because nicotine is addictive, even treatment facilities that allow smoking usually 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 that allow smoking in designated areas, but educate clients on the health risks associated with smoking by incorporating this into their program either by way of direct education or by offering informational literature for clients to consider. In facilities which allow smoking in designated areas this is sometimes only allowed for clients, and staff are often banned from smoking at the center or are asked to not smoke in front of clients.
Publicly funded drug rehab 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 rehabilitation facilities have a little more leeway and don't have as many rules imposed on them, so may be more likely to offer designated areas for smoking.
