It is estimated that approximately 75% of clients at residential rehab centers for drug addiction and alcoholism are smokers. While it is true that nicotine is addicting and people in any sort of treatment for addiction should endeavor to be free from all addictive substances, this can present problems that make enforcing a non-smoking facility outweigh the benefits of such restrictions. A person who is addicted to a substance as life threatening as drugs and alcohol might not agree to go to treatment if they must quit smoking cigarettes, so therefore, many rehab centers in Orangeville allow smoking with some limitations, restrictions and in designated areas of their facility.
Some facilities allow clients to smoke anywhere, provides it is outside for example. Some programs have a designated smoking area, and this is the only area that clients can smoke. Due to the fact that nicotine is addictive, even rehab centers that allow smoking usually offer alternatives to smoking if the client wants to quit, such as nicotine replacement gum, patches and prescriptions. There are also rehab centers that allow smoking in designated areas, but educate clients on the health risks associated with smoking by including this into their program either by way of direct one on one counseling or by offering educational literature for clients to consider. In facilities which permit smoking in designated areas this is typically only allowed for clients, whereas staff are often restricted from smoking at the center or are encouraged to not smoke in front of clients.
Publicly funded drug treatment 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 facilities have a bit more tolerance and don't have as many restrictions imposed on them, so may be more likely to provide designated areas for smoking.
