It is estimated that around 75% of clients at residential treatment centers for drug and alcohol addiction are smokers. While it is true that nicotine is addicting and people in any sort of treatment for addiction should strive to be abstinent from all addictive substances, this can introduce 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 Sinking Spring allow smoking with some limitations, restrictions and in designated areas.
Some facilities permit clients to smoke anywhere, as long as it is outside for instance. Some programs have a designated smoking area, which is the only place that clients are allowed to smoke in. Due to the fact that nicotine is addictive, even rehab facilities that allow smoking typically provide alternatives to smoking if the client wants to quit, such as nicotine replacement gum, patches and prescriptions. There are also programs that permit 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 one on one counseling or by offering educational literature for clients to consider. In rehab centers which allow smoking in designated areas this is sometimes only allowed for clients, whereas staff are often banned from smoking at the center or are asked to not smoke in front of clients.
Publicly funded substance abuse treatment centers are obligated by the rules and restrictions in regards to smoking that are enforced by state and federal agencies which oversee and administer these programs. Private rehabilitation programs have a little more tolerance and don't have as many rules imposed on them, so they be more likely to provide designated areas for smoking.
