It is estimated that around 75% of clients at residential rehabilitation programs 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 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 that could very well kill them immediately might not go to treatment if they must quit smoking cigarettes, so many facilities in Fulton allow smoking with certain restrictions, limitations and in designated areas of their facility.
Some facilities permit clients to smoke anywhere, provides it is outdoors for instance. Some rehab centers have a designated smoking area, which is the only area that clients can smoke. Because nicotine is an addictive substance, even rehab centers that have a designated area and allow smoking commonly introduce 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 including this into their program either by way of direct education or by offering educational literature for clients to examine. In programs which allow smoking in designated areas this is sometimes only authorized for clients, whereas staff are sometimes banned from smoking at the facility or are encouraged to not smoke in front of clients.
Publicly funded drug rehab 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 treatment centers have a bit more leeway and don't have as many rules imposed on them, so they be more likely to provide designated areas for smoking.
