It is estimated that around 75% of clients at residential rehab centers for drug addiction and alcoholism are smokers. While it is a fact that nicotine is addicting and clients in rehab for addiction should strive to be abstinent from all addictive substances, this can introduce problems that make enforcing a smoking ban outweigh the advantages of such restrictions. Someone who is addicted to a substance as life threatening as drugs and alcohol might not agree to get help if they have to quit smoking cigarettes, so many programs in Milford Center allow smoking with some limitations, restrictions and in designated areas.
Some rehab centers allow clients to smoke anywhere, provides it is outside for example. Some rehab centers have a designated smoking area, and this is the only area that clients are allowed to smoke in. Because nicotine is an addictive substance, even treatment facilities that allow smoking commonly provide alternatives to smoking if the client wants to quit, such as nicotine replacement gum, patches and prescriptions. There are also facilities that 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 education or by offering educational literature for clients to examine. In facilities which permit smoking in designated areas this is typically only allowed for clients, whereas staff are sometimes restricted from smoking at the facility or are asked to not smoke in front of clients.
Publicly funded addiction 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 rehabilitation centers have a bit more leeway and don't have as many restrictions imposed on them, so they be more likely to provide designated areas for smoking.
