It is estimated that around 75% of clients at residential treatment centers for drug addiction and alcoholism are smokers. While it is true that nicotine is an addictive substance and people in any sort of treatment for addiction should endeavor to be abstinent from all addictive substances, this can introduce problems that make enforcing a smoking ban outweigh the benefits 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 have to quit smoking cigarettes, so many rehab centers in Chippewa Lake allow smoking with some restrictions, limitations and in designated areas.
Some programs allow clients to smoke anywhere, provides it is outside for example. Some rehab centers have a designated smoking area, which is the only place that clients can smoke. Because nicotine is an addictive substance, even treatment facilities that allow smoking commonly offer alternatives to smoking if the client wants to quit, such as nicotine patches, nicotine gum 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 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 allowed for clients, whereas staff are sometimes restricted from smoking at the center or are asked to not smoke in front of clients.
Publicly funded drug treatment programs are bound by the rules and restrictions in regards to smoking that are imposed by state and federal agencies which oversee and administer these programs. Private treatment facilities 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.
