It is estimated that approximately 75% of clients at residential rehab 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 endeavor to be free from all addictive substances, this can introduce problems that make enforcing a smoking ban outweigh the advantages of such restrictions. 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 therefore, many programs in Grangeville allow smoking with some limitations, restrictions and in designated areas of their facility.
Some programs permit clients to smoke anywhere, as long as it is outdoors 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 an addictive substance, even rehab centers that allow smoking typically offer alternatives to smoking if the client would like to consider this as an option, such as nicotine patches, nicotine gum 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 education or by providing educational literature for clients to consider. In facilities which permit smoking in designated areas this is typically only allowed for clients, whereas staff are sometimes restricted from smoking at the center or are asked to not smoke in front of clients.
Publicly funded addiction rehabilitation centers 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 may be more likely to provide designated areas for smoking.
