It is estimated that approximately 75% of clients at residential rehab facilities for drug and alcohol addiction are smokers. While it is true that nicotine is an addictive substance and clients in any sort of treatment for addiction should strive to be free from all addictive substances, this can introduce problems that make enforcing a non-smoking facility outweigh the advantages 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 must quit smoking cigarettes, so therefore, many rehab centers in Milford allow smoking with certain restrictions, limitations and in designated areas of their facility.
Some facilities allow clients to smoke anywhere, so long as it is outside for example. Some facilities have a designated smoking area, and this is the only place that clients can smoke. Because nicotine is addictive, even rehab programs that have a designated area and allow smoking usually offer alternatives to smoking if the client wants to quit, such as nicotine replacement gum, patches and prescriptions. There are also programs which 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 offering informational literature for clients to consider. In rehab centers which allow smoking in designated areas this is typically only allowed for clients, and staff are sometimes banned from smoking at the center or are encouraged to not smoke in front of clients.
Publicly funded addiction rehabilitation programs are bound 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 programs have a little more tolerance and don't have as many rules and restrictions imposed on them, so they be more likely to offer designated areas for smoking.
