It is estimated that around 75% of clients at residential rehabilitation facilities for drug addiction and alcoholism are smokers. While it is a fact that nicotine is an addictive substance and clients in rehab for addiction should strive to be free 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 as life threatening as drugs and alcohol might not get help if they have to quit smoking cigarettes, so therefore, many facilities in Pablo allow smoking with certain limitations, restrictions and in designated areas.
Some rehab centers permit clients to smoke anywhere, provides it is outdoors for instance. Some facilities have a designated smoking area, which is the only place that clients can smoke. Due to the fact that nicotine is addictive, even treatment programs that allow smoking usually introduce 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 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 providing educational literature for clients to examine. In rehab centers which permit smoking in designated areas this is typically only allowed for clients, whereas staff are sometimes banned from smoking at the facility or are encouraged to not smoke in front of clients.
Publicly funded addiction rehab programs 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 rehabilitation facilities have a bit more leeway and don't have as many rules imposed on them, so they be more likely to provide designated areas for smoking.
