It is estimated that approximately 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 strive to be free from all addictive substances, this can present problems that make enforcing a smoking ban outweigh the advantages of such restrictions. A person who is addicted to a substance as life threatening as drugs and alcohol might not get help if they have to quit smoking cigarettes, so many facilities in Hobson allow smoking with some 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 facilities have a designated smoking area, and this is the only place that clients can smoke. Because nicotine is addictive, even treatment programs that allow smoking typically provide alternatives to smoking if the client wants to quit, such as nicotine patches, nicotine gum and prescriptions. There are also facilities which 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 one on one counseling or by providing educational literature for clients to consider. In rehab centers which allow smoking in designated areas this is typically only approved for clients, whereas staff are often restricted from smoking at the facility or are asked to not smoke in front of clients.
Publicly funded drug treatment centers are bound by the rules and restrictions in regards to smoking that are enforced by state and federal agencies which oversee and administer these programs. Private treatment facilities have a bit more tolerance and don't have as many rules and restrictions imposed on them, so they be more likely to offer designated areas for smoking.
