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 addicting and clients in any sort of treatment for addiction should strive to be free from all addictive substances, this can present problems that make enforcing a non-smoking facility outweigh the benefits of this restriction. Someone who is addicted to a substance that could very well kill them immediately might not go to treatment if they must quit smoking cigarettes, so therefore, many programs in Riggins allow smoking with some restrictions, limitations and in designated areas.
Some programs permit clients to smoke anywhere, provides it is outside for example. Some programs have a designated smoking area, which is the only place that clients are allowed to smoke in. Due to the fact that nicotine is an addictive substance, even rehab centers that allow smoking typically 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 incorporating this into their program either by way of direct education or by offering informational literature for clients to examine. In rehab centers which allow smoking in designated areas this is sometimes only approved for clients, and staff are often banned from smoking at the facility or are asked to not smoke in front of clients.
Publicly funded addiction treatment 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 programs have a little more leeway and don't have as many rules imposed on them, so they be more likely to offer designated areas for smoking.
