It is estimated that approximately 75% of clients at residential rehabilitation facilities for drug addiction and alcoholism are smokers. While it is true that nicotine is addicting and clients in any sort of treatment for addiction should endeavor to be abstinent from all addictive substances, this can introduce problems that make enforcing a non-smoking facility outweigh the benefits of such restrictions. 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 many facilities in Morristown allow smoking with some limitations, restrictions and in designated areas.
Some rehab centers permit clients to smoke anywhere, so long as it is outdoors for example. Some rehab centers have a designated smoking area, which is the only place that clients are allowed to smoke in. Due to the fact that nicotine is an addictive substance, even rehab programs that allow smoking usually introduce alternatives to smoking if the client wants to quit, such as nicotine replacement gum, patches and prescriptions. There are also rehab centers which 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 education or by providing educational literature for clients to examine. In facilities which allow smoking in designated areas this is sometimes only allowed for clients, and staff are often banned from smoking at the center or are asked to not smoke in front of clients.
Publicly funded drug rehab facilities 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 treatment programs 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.
