It is estimated that approximately 75% of clients at residential treatment facilities for drug addiction and alcoholism are smokers. While it is a fact that nicotine is addicting and people in rehab for addiction should endeavor to be free from all addictive substances, this can present problems that make enforcing a smoking ban outweigh the benefits of such restrictions. Someone who is addicted to a substance as life threatening as drugs and alcohol might not go to treatment if they have to quit smoking cigarettes, so many facilities in Trimont allow smoking with some limitations, restrictions and in designated areas of their facility.
Some facilities allow clients to smoke anywhere, so long as it is outside for instance. 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 treatment facilities 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 rehab centers which permit smoking in designated areas, but provide education 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 permit smoking in designated areas this is sometimes only allowed for clients, and staff are sometimes banned from smoking at the facility or are encouraged to not smoke in front of clients.
Publicly funded drug treatment facilities are bound 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 bit more leeway and don't have as many rules and restrictions imposed on them, so may be more likely to provide designated areas for smoking.
