It is estimated that around 75% of clients at residential rehabilitation programs for drug and alcohol addiction are smokers. While it is a fact 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. A person who is addicted to a substance as life threatening as drugs and alcohol might not agree to go to treatment if they must quit smoking cigarettes, so many programs in Haiku allow smoking with certain limitations, restrictions and in designated areas.
Some programs permit clients to smoke anywhere, provides it is outside for instance. Some facilities have a designated smoking area, and this is the only area that clients can smoke. Due to the fact that nicotine is an addictive substance, even treatment centers that allow smoking typically 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 programs which allow 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 one on one counseling or by offering informational literature for clients to consider. In programs which allow smoking in designated areas this is typically only approved for clients, whereas staff are often restricted from smoking at the facility or are asked to not smoke in front of clients.
Publicly funded addiction treatment programs 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 leeway and don't have as many rules imposed on them, so they be more likely to provide designated areas for smoking.
