It is estimated that around 75% of clients at residential rehabilitation centers for drug and alcohol addiction are smokers. While it is true that nicotine is addicting and people in rehab for addiction should endeavor to be abstinent 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 that could very well kill them immediately might not agree to get help if they must quit smoking cigarettes, so therefore, many rehab centers in Dingle allow smoking with some limitations, restrictions 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, which is the only place that clients can smoke. Because nicotine is addictive, even rehab programs that have a designated area and allow smoking usually introduce alternatives to smoking if the client wants to quit, such as nicotine replacement gum, patches and prescriptions. There are also facilities which allow smoking in designated areas, but provide education on the health risks associated with smoking by including this into their program either by way of direct education or by offering informational literature for clients to consider. In programs which allow smoking in designated areas this is typically only authorized for clients, whereas staff are sometimes banned from smoking at the center or are asked to not smoke in front of clients.
Publicly funded drug rehab programs are bound 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 facilities have a bit more leeway and don't have as many rules and restrictions imposed on them, so may be more likely to offer designated areas for smoking.
