It is estimated that around 75% of clients at residential rehabilitation centers for drug addiction and alcoholism are smokers. While it is true that nicotine is addicting and clients in rehab for addiction should endeavor to be abstinent from all addictive substances, this can introduce problems that make enforcing a smoking ban outweigh the benefits of this restriction. A person who is addicted to a substance that could very well kill them immediately might not get help if they have to quit smoking cigarettes, so therefore, many programs in Hendricks allow smoking with some limitations, restrictions and in designated areas.
Some programs 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. Due to the fact that nicotine is an addictive substance, even rehab programs that allow smoking commonly provide alternatives to smoking if the client wants to quit, such as nicotine patches, nicotine gum and prescriptions. There are also rehab centers that permit 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 one on one counseling or by providing educational literature for clients to examine. In rehab centers which allow smoking in designated areas this is sometimes only allowed for clients, and staff are sometimes restricted from smoking at the center or are asked to not smoke in front of clients.
Publicly funded addiction 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 centers have a bit more leeway and don't have as many rules and restrictions imposed on them, so they be more likely to offer designated areas for smoking.
