It is estimated that approximately 75% of clients at residential rehabilitation centers for drug addiction and alcoholism are smokers. While it is a fact that nicotine is an addictive substance and people in rehab for addiction should strive to be free 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 that could very well kill them immediately might not agree to go to treatment if they must quit smoking cigarettes, so therefore, many programs in Makaweli allow smoking with certain limitations, restrictions and in designated areas of their facility.
Some programs allow clients to smoke anywhere, so long as it is outdoors for instance. Some programs have a designated smoking area, which is the only place that clients can smoke. Because nicotine is an addictive substance, even rehab centers that allow smoking commonly provide alternatives to smoking if the client wants to quit, such as nicotine patches, nicotine gum and prescriptions. There are also rehab centers that 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 providing informational literature for clients to examine. In facilities which allow smoking in designated areas this is typically only approved for clients, whereas staff are often banned from smoking at the center or are encouraged to not smoke in front of clients.
Publicly funded drug rehab programs 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 rehab centers have a little more leeway and don't have as many rules imposed on them, so they be more likely to offer designated areas for smoking.
