It is estimated that around 75% of clients at residential rehabilitation facilities for drug addiction and alcoholism are smokers. While it is a fact that nicotine is addicting and clients in rehab for addiction should endeavor to be free from all addictive substances, this can present problems that make enforcing a smoking ban outweigh the benefits of this restriction. A person who is addicted to a substance as life threatening as drugs and alcohol might not agree to go to treatment if they have to quit smoking cigarettes, so therefore, many programs in Mantua allow smoking with some restrictions, limitations and in designated areas of their facility.
Some facilities permit clients to smoke anywhere, so long as it is outdoors for example. Some programs have a designated smoking area, and this is the only place that clients are allowed to smoke in. Due to the fact that nicotine is an addictive substance, even rehab facilities that allow smoking usually provide alternatives to smoking if the client wants to quit, such as nicotine patches, nicotine gum and prescriptions. There are also facilities that allow smoking in designated areas, but educate clients on the health risks associated with smoking by integrating this into their program either by way of direct education or by providing educational literature for clients to consider. In facilities which allow smoking in designated areas this is typically only allowed for clients, whereas staff are often restricted from smoking at the center or are asked to not smoke in front of clients.
Publicly funded substance abuse rehab programs 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 treatment programs have a little more leeway and don't have as many rules imposed on them, so they be more likely to provide designated areas for smoking.
