It is estimated that around 75% of clients at residential rehab centers 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 endeavor to be abstinent from all addictive substances, this can introduce problems that make enforcing a smoking ban outweigh the advantages of such restrictions. 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 Warren allow smoking with some restrictions, limitations and in designated areas of their facility.
Some facilities allow clients to smoke anywhere, provides it is outdoors for example. Some facilities have a designated smoking area, and this is the only place that clients are allowed to smoke in. Due to the fact that nicotine is addictive, even treatment programs 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 programs which permit 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 one on one counseling or by providing educational literature for clients to examine. In facilities which allow smoking in designated areas this is typically only approved for clients, whereas staff are often banned from smoking at the facility or are encouraged to not smoke in front of clients.
Publicly funded drug and alcohol rehab facilities 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 rehabilitation facilities have a little more leeway and don't have as many restrictions imposed on them, so they be more likely to offer designated areas for smoking.
