It is estimated that around 75% of clients at residential rehabilitation centers for drug and alcohol addiction are smokers. While it is true that nicotine is an addictive substance and clients in rehab for addiction should endeavor to be abstinent from all addictive substances, this can introduce problems that make enforcing a non-smoking facility outweigh the benefits of this restriction. A person who is addicted to a substance that could very well kill them immediately might not go to treatment if they have to quit smoking cigarettes, so many facilities in Galena allow smoking with some restrictions, limitations and in designated areas of their facility.
Some rehab centers allow 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 addictive, even treatment programs that allow smoking typically provide alternatives to smoking if the client wants to quit, such as nicotine patches, nicotine gum and prescriptions. There are also facilities which allow smoking in designated areas, but provide education on the health risks associated with smoking by integrating this into their program either by way of direct one on one counseling or by providing informational literature for clients to examine. In facilities which permit smoking in designated areas this is typically only approved for clients, and staff are often banned from smoking at the center or are encouraged to not smoke in front of clients.
Publicly funded addiction rehabilitation centers are bound 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 leeway and don't have as many rules imposed on them, so may be more likely to provide designated areas for smoking.
