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 addicting and people 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 advantages of such restrictions. A person who is addicted to a substance that could very well kill them immediately might not agree to get help if they must quit smoking cigarettes, so therefore, many programs in Kerkhoven allow smoking with some restrictions, limitations and in designated areas.
Some rehab centers permit clients to smoke anywhere, provides it is outside for example. Some facilities have a designated smoking area, and this is the only area that clients can smoke. Due to the fact that nicotine is addictive, even treatment facilities that allow smoking commonly introduce alternatives to smoking if the client wants to quit, such as nicotine replacement gum, patches and prescriptions. There are also programs which permit smoking in designated areas, but provide education on the health risks associated with smoking by integrating this into their program either by way of direct education or by providing informational literature for clients to consider. In facilities which allow smoking in designated areas this is typically only allowed for clients, and staff are sometimes banned from smoking at the facility or are asked to not smoke in front of clients.
Publicly funded addiction rehab centers are bound by the rules and restrictions in regards to smoking that are enforced 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 rules imposed on them, so they be more likely to provide designated areas for smoking.
