It is estimated that approximately 75% of clients at residential rehab programs for drug addiction and alcoholism are smokers. While it is true that nicotine is addicting and people in any sort of treatment for addiction should strive to be free from all addictive substances, this can present problems that make enforcing a non-smoking facility outweigh the advantages of such restrictions. A person who is addicted to a substance that could very well kill them immediately might not go to treatment if they must quit smoking cigarettes, so many programs in Beltrami allow smoking with some restrictions, limitations and in designated areas of their facility.
Some facilities allow clients to smoke anywhere, as long as it is outside for example. Some programs have a designated smoking area, and this is the only place that clients can smoke. Because nicotine is an addictive substance, even rehab facilities that have a designated area and 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 which allow 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 providing informational literature for clients to consider. In rehab centers which permit smoking in designated areas this is sometimes only authorized 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 treatment 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 rehab facilities have a bit more leeway and don't have as many restrictions imposed on them, so may be more likely to offer designated areas for smoking.
