It is estimated that approximately 75% of clients at residential rehabilitation centers for drug and alcohol addiction are smokers. While it is true that nicotine is addicting and clients 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 such restrictions. Someone who is addicted to a substance that could very well kill them immediately might not get help if they must quit smoking cigarettes, so therefore, many facilities in Eden Valley allow smoking with some limitations, restrictions and in designated areas of their facility.
Some facilities allow clients to smoke anywhere, provides it is outside for instance. Some rehab centers have a designated smoking area, and this is the only area that clients can smoke. Because nicotine is addictive, 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 patches, nicotine gum and prescriptions. There are also facilities which permit smoking in designated areas, but educate clients 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 consider. In rehab centers which allow smoking in designated areas this is sometimes only allowed for clients, and staff are often restricted from smoking at the facility or are asked 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 centers have a bit more leeway and don't have as many rules imposed on them, so may be more likely to offer designated areas for smoking.
