It is estimated that around 75% of clients at residential treatment programs for drug addiction and alcoholism are smokers. While it is a fact that nicotine is addicting and people in any sort of treatment for addiction should endeavor to be abstinent from all addictive substances, this can present problems that make enforcing a non-smoking facility outweigh the advantages of this restriction. A person who is addicted to a substance as life threatening as drugs and alcohol might not agree to get help if they must quit smoking cigarettes, so many rehab centers in Warnock allow smoking with certain limitations, restrictions and in designated areas.
Some facilities allow clients to smoke anywhere, provides it is outside for example. Some rehab centers have a designated smoking area, which is the only place that clients are allowed to smoke in. Because nicotine is addictive, even rehab centers that allow smoking typically offer alternatives to smoking if the client would like to consider this as an option, such as nicotine patches, nicotine gum and prescriptions. There are also rehab centers that allow smoking in designated areas, but provide education 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 examine. In programs which permit smoking in designated areas this is sometimes only approved for clients, and staff are often restricted from smoking at the facility or are asked to not smoke in front of clients.
Publicly funded drug treatment programs 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 programs have a bit more tolerance and don't have as many restrictions imposed on them, so may be more likely to offer designated areas for smoking.
