It is estimated that around 75% of clients at residential rehabilitation facilities for drug and alcohol addiction are smokers. While it is a fact that nicotine is addicting and people 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 advantages of such restrictions. A person who is addicted to a substance that could very well kill them immediately might not agree to go to treatment if they must quit smoking cigarettes, so many facilities in Chardon allow smoking with some limitations, restrictions and in designated areas of their facility.
Some programs allow clients to smoke anywhere, provides it is outdoors for instance. Some rehab centers have a designated smoking area, which is the only area that clients can smoke. Due to the fact that nicotine is addictive, even treatment facilities that allow smoking usually offer alternatives to smoking if the client would like to consider this as an option, 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 incorporating this into their program either by way of direct one on one counseling or by offering informational literature for clients to consider. In rehab centers which permit smoking in designated areas this is typically only allowed for clients, and staff are often banned from smoking at the facility or are asked to not smoke in front of clients.
Publicly funded addiction treatment centers are obligated by the rules and restrictions in regards to smoking that are imposed by state and federal agencies which oversee and administer these programs. Private rehabilitation facilities have a bit more tolerance and don't have as many restrictions imposed on them, so they be more likely to provide designated areas for smoking.
