It is estimated that approximately 75% of clients at residential rehab programs for drug and alcohol addiction are smokers. While it is a fact that nicotine is addicting and people in rehab for addiction should strive to be free from all addictive substances, this can introduce problems that make enforcing a smoking ban outweigh the benefits of this restriction. Someone 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 therefore, many facilities in Cocolalla allow smoking with certain restrictions, limitations and in designated areas of their facility.
Some rehab centers allow clients to smoke anywhere, provides it is outside 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 provide alternatives to smoking if the client wants to quit, such as nicotine replacement gum, patches and prescriptions. There are also rehab centers 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 education or by providing educational literature for clients to examine. In rehab centers which permit smoking in designated areas this is sometimes 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 substance abuse rehab 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 centers have a little more leeway and don't have as many restrictions imposed on them, so they be more likely to provide designated areas for smoking.
