It is estimated that approximately 75% of clients at residential rehab centers for drug and alcohol addiction are smokers. While it is a fact that nicotine is addicting and people in any sort of treatment for addiction should endeavor to be free from all addictive substances, this can present problems that make enforcing a non-smoking facility outweigh the benefits of this restriction. A person who is addicted to a substance as life threatening as drugs and alcohol might not go to treatment if they must quit smoking cigarettes, so many rehab centers in Brimson allow smoking with certain restrictions, limitations and in designated areas.
Some facilities permit clients to smoke anywhere, provides 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 treatment centers that allow smoking usually offer alternatives to smoking if the client wants to quit, such as nicotine replacement gum, patches and prescriptions. There are also rehab centers that permit smoking in designated areas, but provide education 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 sometimes restricted from smoking at the center or are encouraged to not smoke in front of clients.
Publicly funded drug treatment programs 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 bit more leeway and don't have as many rules imposed on them, so they be more likely to offer designated areas for smoking.
