It is estimated that approximately 75% of clients at residential treatment centers for drug and alcohol addiction are smokers. While it is a fact that nicotine is an addictive substance and people in rehab for addiction should strive to be free from all addictive substances, this can introduce problems that make enforcing a smoking ban 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 have to quit smoking cigarettes, so therefore, many rehab centers in Lake Lillian allow smoking with certain limitations, restrictions and in designated areas of their facility.
Some programs permit clients to smoke anywhere, provides it is outside for example. Some programs have a designated smoking area, which is the only place that clients can smoke. Because nicotine is an addictive substance, even rehab facilities that allow smoking usually offer alternatives to smoking if the client wants to quit, such as nicotine patches, nicotine gum and prescriptions. There are also facilities that 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 one on one counseling or by offering informational literature for clients to consider. In facilities which permit smoking in designated areas this is typically only approved for clients, and staff are sometimes restricted from smoking at the center or are encouraged to not smoke in front of clients.
Publicly funded addiction treatment programs 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 rehabilitation facilities have a little more tolerance and don't have as many restrictions imposed on them, so they be more likely to offer designated areas for smoking.
