It is estimated that approximately 75% of clients at residential treatment facilities for drug and alcohol addiction are smokers. While it is true that nicotine is addicting and people in any sort of treatment for addiction should strive to be free from all addictive substances, this can introduce problems that make enforcing a smoking ban outweigh the advantages of this restriction. Someone who is addicted to a substance that could very well kill them immediately might not get help if they have to quit smoking cigarettes, so many rehab centers in Fish Haven allow smoking with some limitations, restrictions and in designated areas.
Some rehab centers permit clients to smoke anywhere, so long as it is outdoors for instance. Some rehab centers have a designated smoking area, and this is the only area that clients can smoke. Due to the fact that nicotine is addictive, even rehab programs that allow smoking typically offer alternatives to smoking if the client wants to quit, such as nicotine replacement gum, patches and prescriptions. There are also facilities 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 programs which permit smoking in designated areas this is sometimes only authorized for clients, and staff are often banned from smoking at the facility or are asked to not smoke in front of clients.
Publicly funded substance abuse rehab centers 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 centers have a bit more tolerance and don't have as many rules and restrictions imposed on them, so they be more likely to provide designated areas for smoking.
