It is estimated that around 75% of clients at residential treatment facilities for drug and alcohol addiction are smokers. While it is true that nicotine is addicting and people in any sort of treatment for addiction should endeavor to be abstinent 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 that could very well kill them immediately might not get help if they must quit smoking cigarettes, so many facilities in Dalton allow smoking with certain restrictions, limitations and in designated areas of their facility.
Some programs permit clients to smoke anywhere, provides it is outside for example. Some facilities have a designated smoking area, which is the only area that clients can smoke. Because nicotine is an addictive substance, even rehab programs 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 facilities which allow smoking in designated areas, but provide education on the health risks associated with smoking by including this into their program either by way of direct education or by offering informational literature for clients to consider. In facilities which permit smoking in designated areas this is sometimes only authorized for clients, whereas staff are sometimes banned from smoking at the center or are encouraged to not smoke in front of clients.
Publicly funded drug and alcohol 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 treatment facilities have a bit more tolerance and don't have as many rules imposed on them, so may be more likely to offer designated areas for smoking.
