It is estimated that around 75% of clients at residential rehabilitation programs for drug and alcohol addiction are smokers. While it is true that nicotine is addicting and people 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 this restriction. 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 Campbell allow smoking with certain restrictions, limitations and in designated areas of their facility.
Some rehab centers allow clients to smoke anywhere, as long as it is outside for instance. Some programs have a designated smoking area, which is the only area that clients are allowed to smoke in. Because nicotine is addictive, even rehab centers that allow smoking typically provide alternatives to smoking if the client wants to quit, such as nicotine replacement gum, patches and prescriptions. There are also programs that allow 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 education or by offering educational literature for clients to consider. In facilities which permit smoking in designated areas this is sometimes only approved for clients, whereas staff are sometimes banned from smoking at the facility or are asked to not smoke in front of clients.
Publicly funded addiction rehabilitation 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 rehab programs have a little more tolerance and don't have as many restrictions imposed on them, so they be more likely to offer designated areas for smoking.
