It is estimated that around 75% of clients at residential treatment facilities for drug and alcohol addiction are smokers. While it is true that nicotine is addicting and people 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 benefits of this restriction. A person who is addicted to a substance that could very well kill them immediately might not go to treatment if they have to quit smoking cigarettes, so many programs in Waskish allow smoking with some restrictions, limitations and in designated areas.
Some programs permit clients to smoke anywhere, so long as it is outdoors for example. Some rehab centers 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 offer 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 rehab centers which allow 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 informational literature for clients to consider. In rehab centers which allow smoking in designated areas this is sometimes only authorized for clients, whereas staff are sometimes restricted from smoking at the center or are asked to not smoke in front of clients.
Publicly funded addiction treatment centers 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 centers have a bit more leeway and don't have as many rules imposed on them, so may be more likely to offer designated areas for smoking.
