It is estimated that around 75% of clients at residential rehab facilities for drug addiction and alcoholism are smokers. While it is true that nicotine is addicting and clients 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 this restriction. Someone who is addicted to a substance as life threatening as drugs and alcohol might not agree to get help if they have to quit smoking cigarettes, so many rehab centers in Shelley allow smoking with certain restrictions, limitations and in designated areas of their facility.
Some facilities allow clients to smoke anywhere, so long as it is outdoors for instance. Some programs have a designated smoking area, which is the only area that clients can smoke. Due to the fact that nicotine is addictive, even treatment centers that allow smoking usually 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 incorporating this into their program either by way of direct education or by offering educational literature for clients to examine. In facilities which permit smoking in designated areas this is sometimes only approved for clients, and staff are often restricted from smoking at the facility or are asked to not smoke in front of clients.
Publicly funded substance abuse rehabilitation programs 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 rehabilitation facilities have a little more tolerance and don't have as many restrictions imposed on them, so they be more likely to offer designated areas for smoking.
