It is estimated that approximately 75% of clients at residential treatment programs for drug and alcohol addiction are smokers. While it is true that nicotine is an addictive substance and people in rehab for addiction should strive to be free 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 get help if they must quit smoking cigarettes, so many facilities in Martin allow smoking with some restrictions, limitations and in designated areas.
Some programs allow clients to smoke anywhere, as long as it is outside for instance. Some rehab centers have a designated smoking area, which is the only area that clients are allowed to smoke in. Due to the fact that nicotine is an addictive substance, even rehab programs that have a designated area and allow smoking commonly 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 educate clients on the health risks associated with smoking by incorporating this into their program either by way of direct education or by offering educational literature for clients to consider. In facilities which allow smoking in designated areas this is sometimes only authorized for clients, whereas staff are often banned from smoking at the facility or are asked to not smoke in front of clients.
Publicly funded drug rehab 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 rehab centers have a bit more tolerance and don't have as many rules imposed on them, so they be more likely to provide designated areas for smoking.
