It is estimated that approximately 75% of clients at residential rehab centers for drug addiction and alcoholism are smokers. While it is true that nicotine is addicting and clients 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 benefits of such restrictions. Someone who is addicted to a substance as life threatening as drugs and alcohol might not agree to go to treatment if they have to quit smoking cigarettes, so many programs in Autryville allow smoking with certain limitations, restrictions and in designated areas of their facility.
Some rehab centers permit clients to smoke anywhere, so long as it is outdoors for instance. Some rehab centers have a designated smoking area, and this is the only area that clients can smoke. Due to the fact that nicotine is addictive, even treatment centers that have a designated area and allow smoking commonly introduce alternatives to smoking if the client wants to quit, such as nicotine replacement gum, patches and prescriptions. There are also facilities that 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 one on one counseling or by providing educational literature for clients to consider. In programs which allow smoking in designated areas this is typically only authorized for clients, and staff are sometimes banned from smoking at the center or are asked to not smoke in front of clients.
Publicly funded drug rehab facilities are obligated 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 programs have a bit more tolerance and don't have as many restrictions imposed on them, so they be more likely to offer designated areas for smoking.
