It is estimated that approximately 75% of clients at residential rehabilitation programs for drug addiction and alcoholism are smokers. While it is true that nicotine is an addictive substance and people in rehab for addiction should endeavor to be abstinent from all addictive substances, this can introduce problems that make enforcing a non-smoking facility outweigh the advantages of this restriction. Someone 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 Margie allow smoking with some restrictions, limitations and in designated areas.
Some programs allow clients to smoke anywhere, as long as it is outside for example. Some rehab centers have a designated smoking area, and this is the only place that clients can smoke. Due to the fact that nicotine is addictive, even rehab programs that allow smoking commonly introduce alternatives to smoking if the client wants to quit, such as nicotine patches, nicotine gum and prescriptions. There are also programs which permit smoking in designated areas, but educate clients on the health risks associated with smoking by including this into their program either by way of direct education or by providing educational literature for clients to examine. In programs which permit smoking in designated areas this is sometimes only allowed for clients, whereas staff are sometimes banned from smoking at the facility or are encouraged to not smoke in front of clients.
Publicly funded drug and alcohol rehabilitation programs 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 rehabilitation facilities have a bit more tolerance and don't have as many restrictions imposed on them, so they be more likely to offer designated areas for smoking.
