It is estimated that around 75% of clients at residential treatment centers for drug addiction and alcoholism are smokers. While it is true that nicotine is an addictive substance and clients in rehab for addiction should endeavor to be abstinent from all addictive substances, this can present problems that make enforcing a non-smoking facility outweigh the advantages of this restriction. 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 facilities in Stephen allow smoking with certain limitations, restrictions and in designated areas.
Some rehab centers allow clients to smoke anywhere, so long as it is outdoors for instance. Some programs have a designated smoking area, and this is the only place that clients can smoke. Because nicotine is an addictive substance, even rehab programs that allow smoking usually provide 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 incorporating this into their program either by way of direct one on one counseling or by offering informational literature for clients to examine. In facilities which permit smoking in designated areas this is typically only allowed for clients, whereas staff are often banned from smoking at the center 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 rehab facilities have a little more tolerance and don't have as many rules and restrictions imposed on them, so may be more likely to offer designated areas for smoking.
