It is estimated that approximately 75% of clients at residential rehab programs for drug addiction and alcoholism are smokers. While it is a fact that nicotine is an addictive substance and clients in rehab for addiction should endeavor to be free from all addictive substances, this can introduce problems that make enforcing a smoking ban outweigh the advantages of this restriction. Someone who is addicted to a substance as life threatening as drugs and alcohol might not agree to go to treatment if they must quit smoking cigarettes, so therefore, many rehab centers in New Baltimore allow smoking with some restrictions, limitations and in designated areas.
Some facilities allow clients to smoke anywhere, as long as it is outside for example. Some facilities have a designated smoking area, and this is the only area that clients are allowed to smoke in. Due to the fact that nicotine is addictive, even rehab centers that have a designated area and allow smoking usually provide alternatives to smoking if the client wants to quit, such as nicotine patches, nicotine gum and prescriptions. There are also programs that allow 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 one on one counseling or by offering educational literature for clients to examine. In programs which permit smoking in designated areas this is typically only allowed for clients, whereas staff are often restricted from smoking at the center or are encouraged to not smoke in front of clients.
Publicly funded drug and alcohol rehabilitation centers 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 programs have a little more tolerance and don't have as many restrictions imposed on them, so they be more likely to provide designated areas for smoking.
