It is estimated that around 75% of clients at residential rehabilitation programs for drug and alcohol addiction are smokers. While it is true that nicotine is an addictive substance and clients in rehab for addiction should strive to be free from all addictive substances, this can present problems that make enforcing a non-smoking facility outweigh the benefits of this restriction. 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 rehab centers in Tavares allow smoking with certain limitations, restrictions and in designated areas of their facility.
Some programs allow clients to smoke anywhere, provides it is outdoors for instance. Some programs have a designated smoking area, and this is the only area that clients are allowed to smoke in. Due to the fact that nicotine is an addictive substance, even rehab centers that allow smoking usually provide 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 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 programs which permit smoking in designated areas this is typically only approved for clients, and staff are sometimes restricted from smoking at the center or are encouraged to not smoke in front of clients.
Publicly funded substance abuse treatment 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 programs have a bit more tolerance and don't have as many restrictions imposed on them, so may be more likely to offer designated areas for smoking.
