It is estimated that around 75% of clients at residential treatment programs for drug addiction and alcoholism are smokers. While it is a fact that nicotine is addicting 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 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 must quit smoking cigarettes, so many facilities in Barnum allow smoking with certain limitations, restrictions and in designated areas.
Some rehab centers allow clients to smoke anywhere, as long as it is outdoors for instance. Some programs have a designated smoking area, and this is the only area that clients can smoke. Because nicotine is an addictive substance, even treatment programs that allow smoking typically provide 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 provide education on the health risks associated with smoking by integrating this into their program either by way of direct education or by providing educational literature for clients to examine. In programs which allow smoking in designated areas this is sometimes only approved for clients, and staff are often restricted from smoking at the center or are encouraged to not smoke in front of clients.
Publicly funded substance abuse rehab facilities 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 programs have a little more leeway and don't have as many rules imposed on them, so may be more likely to provide designated areas for smoking.
