It is estimated that around 75% of clients at residential rehab facilities for drug and alcohol addiction 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 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 must quit smoking cigarettes, so many facilities in Fultonville allow smoking with certain restrictions, limitations and in designated areas.
Some rehab centers permit clients to smoke anywhere, so long as it is outside for instance. Some rehab centers have a designated smoking area, which is the only place that clients are allowed to smoke in. Because nicotine is an addictive substance, even treatment facilities that allow smoking usually introduce alternatives to smoking if the client wants to quit, such as nicotine patches, nicotine gum and prescriptions. There are also facilities that allow smoking in designated areas, but educate clients on the health risks associated with smoking by incorporating this into their program either by way of direct education or by offering educational literature for clients to examine. In rehab centers which allow smoking in designated areas this is sometimes only authorized for clients, and staff are often restricted from smoking at the center or are encouraged to not smoke in front of clients.
Publicly funded addiction rehab centers 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 rehabilitation programs have a bit 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.
