It is estimated that approximately 75% of clients at residential rehabilitation facilities for drug addiction and alcoholism are smokers. While it is a fact that nicotine is an addictive substance and people in any sort of treatment for addiction should endeavor to be abstinent from all addictive substances, this can present problems that make enforcing a non-smoking facility outweigh the advantages of this restriction. Someone who is addicted to a substance as life threatening as drugs and alcohol might not get help if they must quit smoking cigarettes, so many rehab centers in Hartland allow smoking with certain limitations, restrictions and in designated areas.
Some programs allow clients to smoke anywhere, as long as it is outside for example. Some facilities have a designated smoking area, which is the only place that clients can smoke. Because nicotine is addictive, even rehab facilities that allow smoking commonly introduce alternatives to smoking if the client wants to quit, 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 incorporating this into their program either by way of direct education or by providing informational literature for clients to examine. In facilities which permit smoking in designated areas this is typically only allowed for clients, whereas staff are often restricted from smoking at the facility or are asked to not smoke in front of clients.
Publicly funded drug and alcohol rehab centers are obligated by the rules and restrictions in regards to smoking that are enforced by state and federal agencies which oversee and administer these programs. Private treatment centers have a little more leeway and don't have as many restrictions imposed on them, so may be more likely to offer designated areas for smoking.
