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 strive to be free 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 that could very well kill them immediately might not agree to go to treatment if they have to quit smoking cigarettes, so many programs in Becker allow smoking with certain limitations, restrictions and in designated areas.
Some rehab centers allow clients to smoke anywhere, provides it is outside for instance. Some rehab centers have a designated smoking area, which is the only area that clients are allowed to smoke in. Because nicotine is an addictive substance, even rehab facilities that allow smoking commonly introduce alternatives to smoking if the client wants to quit, such as nicotine patches, nicotine gum and prescriptions. There are also rehab centers which 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 informational literature for clients to consider. In programs which permit smoking in designated areas this is sometimes only authorized for clients, and staff are sometimes banned from smoking at the center or are asked to not smoke in front of clients.
Publicly funded drug and alcohol rehab facilities 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 facilities have a little more tolerance and don't have as many restrictions imposed on them, so may be more likely to provide designated areas for smoking.
