It is estimated that approximately 75% of clients at residential rehabilitation facilities for drug and alcohol addiction are smokers. While it is a fact that nicotine is addicting and clients in rehab for addiction should strive to be abstinent from all addictive substances, this can introduce problems that make enforcing a smoking ban outweigh the benefits of this restriction. 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 therefore, many rehab centers in Renville allow smoking with certain restrictions, limitations and in designated areas of their facility.
Some rehab centers allow clients to smoke anywhere, as long as it is outdoors for instance. Some programs have a designated smoking area, which is the only area that clients can smoke. Because nicotine is addictive, even rehab programs that allow smoking usually provide alternatives to smoking if the client would like to consider this as an option, such as nicotine replacement gum, patches and prescriptions. There are also facilities that allow 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 consider. In facilities which allow smoking in designated areas this is sometimes only allowed for clients, and staff are sometimes restricted from smoking at the facility or are encouraged to not smoke in front of clients.
Publicly funded substance abuse rehab centers are obligated by the rules and restrictions in regards to smoking that are imposed by state and federal agencies which oversee and administer these programs. Private rehabilitation programs 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.
