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 addicting and clients in rehab for addiction should endeavor to be free from all addictive substances, this can introduce problems that make enforcing a non-smoking facility outweigh the advantages of such restrictions. Someone who is addicted to a substance as life threatening as drugs and alcohol might not go to treatment if they must quit smoking cigarettes, so many rehab centers in Raeford allow smoking with certain limitations, restrictions and in designated areas of their facility.
Some programs permit clients to smoke anywhere, as long as it is outside for example. Some programs have a designated smoking area, and this is the only place that clients are allowed to smoke in. Because nicotine is an addictive substance, even rehab centers that have a designated area and allow smoking commonly offer alternatives to smoking if the client wants to quit, such as nicotine replacement gum, patches and prescriptions. There are also facilities which permit smoking in designated areas, but provide education on the health risks associated with smoking by integrating this into their program either by way of direct one on one counseling or by offering informational literature for clients to consider. In facilities which allow smoking in designated areas this is sometimes only allowed for clients, whereas staff are sometimes restricted from smoking at the facility or are encouraged to not smoke in front of clients.
Publicly funded substance abuse treatment 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 rehab programs 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.
