It is estimated that approximately 75% of clients at residential treatment programs for drug addiction and alcoholism are smokers. While it is true that nicotine is an addictive substance 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 advantages of this restriction. Someone who is addicted to a substance that could very well kill them immediately might not agree to go to treatment if they must quit smoking cigarettes, so therefore, many facilities in Mccomb allow smoking with certain limitations, restrictions and in designated areas.
Some rehab centers permit clients to smoke anywhere, so long as it is outside for example. Some rehab centers have a designated smoking area, and this is the only area that clients can smoke. Because nicotine is an addictive substance, even treatment programs that allow smoking typically offer alternatives to smoking if the client wants to quit, such as nicotine patches, nicotine gum and prescriptions. There are also facilities that 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 offering educational literature for clients to consider. In facilities which allow smoking in designated areas this is typically only allowed for clients, whereas staff are often restricted from smoking at the center or are asked 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 treatment centers have a little 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.
