It is estimated that around 75% of clients at residential rehabilitation facilities for drug addiction and alcoholism are smokers. While it is true that nicotine is addicting and people 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 benefits of this restriction. A person who is addicted to a substance as life threatening as drugs and alcohol might not get help if they must quit smoking cigarettes, so therefore, many facilities in Barnesville allow smoking with some restrictions, limitations and in designated areas.
Some facilities allow clients to smoke anywhere, provides it is outdoors for example. Some programs 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 allow smoking typically provide alternatives to smoking if the client would like to consider this as an option, such as nicotine replacement gum, patches and prescriptions. There are also rehab centers which permit 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 consider. In rehab centers which permit smoking in designated areas this is typically only allowed for clients, and staff are sometimes restricted from smoking at the facility or are encouraged to not smoke in front of clients.
Publicly funded addiction 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 rehabilitation centers have a bit more tolerance and don't have as many rules and restrictions imposed on them, so they be more likely to offer designated areas for smoking.
