It is estimated that approximately 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 strive to be abstinent from all addictive substances, this can present problems that make enforcing a non-smoking facility outweigh the benefits of such restrictions. Someone 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 rehab centers in Groveland allow smoking with some 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 programs have a designated smoking area, and this is the only place that clients can smoke. Due to the fact that nicotine is addictive, even treatment programs that allow smoking usually provide alternatives to smoking if the client wants to quit, such as nicotine replacement gum, patches and prescriptions. There are also programs that permit smoking in designated areas, but educate clients 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 informational literature for clients to examine. In programs which allow smoking in designated areas this is typically only approved for clients, and staff are often banned from smoking at the center or are asked 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 treatment programs have a little more tolerance and don't have as many rules imposed on them, so may be more likely to provide designated areas for smoking.
