It is estimated that approximately 75% of clients at residential rehabilitation centers for drug and alcohol addiction are smokers. While it is a fact that nicotine is an addictive substance and clients in rehab 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 such restrictions. A person who is addicted to a substance as life threatening as drugs and alcohol might not agree to get help if they must quit smoking cigarettes, so many programs in Karlstad allow smoking with some restrictions, limitations and in designated areas of their facility.
Some programs permit clients to smoke anywhere, as long as it is outside for example. Some programs have a designated smoking area, and this is the only area that clients can smoke. Because nicotine is addictive, even rehab facilities that allow smoking typically offer alternatives to smoking if the client wants to quit, such as nicotine replacement gum, patches and prescriptions. There are also facilities which allow smoking in designated areas, but provide education on the health risks associated with smoking by including this into their program either by way of direct one on one counseling or by providing informational literature for clients to examine. In programs which permit smoking in designated areas this is sometimes only allowed for clients, whereas staff are sometimes restricted from smoking at the center or are asked to not smoke in front of clients.
Publicly funded substance abuse rehab programs 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 little more leeway and don't have as many rules and restrictions imposed on them, so they be more likely to provide designated areas for smoking.
