It is estimated that around 75% of clients at residential treatment centers for drug addiction and alcoholism are smokers. While it is true that nicotine is an addictive substance and people in rehab for addiction should endeavor to be abstinent from all addictive substances, this can introduce problems that make enforcing a non-smoking facility outweigh the benefits of such restrictions. Someone who is addicted to a substance as life threatening as drugs and alcohol might not agree to get help if they must quit smoking cigarettes, so many facilities in Moreland allow smoking with some limitations, restrictions and in designated areas.
Some rehab centers allow clients to smoke anywhere, so long as it is outside for instance. Some programs have a designated smoking area, and this is the only area that clients are allowed to smoke in. Because nicotine is an addictive substance, even treatment programs that allow smoking usually provide alternatives to smoking if the client would like to consider this as an option, such as nicotine replacement gum, patches and prescriptions. There are also facilities that permit 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 educational literature for clients to consider. In programs which permit smoking in designated areas this is sometimes only allowed for clients, and staff are often banned from smoking at the facility or are encouraged to not smoke in front of clients.
Publicly funded drug rehab facilities are bound by the rules and restrictions in regards to smoking that are imposed by state and federal agencies which oversee and administer these programs. Private treatment programs have a little more tolerance and don't have as many rules imposed on them, so may be more likely to offer designated areas for smoking.
