It is estimated that approximately 75% of clients at residential rehab programs 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 endeavor to be abstinent from all addictive substances, this can present 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 agree to get help if they have to quit smoking cigarettes, so many rehab centers in Lahaska allow smoking with some limitations, restrictions and in designated areas.
Some facilities permit clients to smoke anywhere, provides it is outdoors for instance. Some facilities have a designated smoking area, and this is the only area that clients are allowed to smoke in. Because nicotine is addictive, even treatment programs that allow smoking usually offer alternatives to smoking if the client would like to consider this as an option, such as nicotine replacement gum, patches and prescriptions. There are also facilities which permit 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 education or by offering informational 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 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 treatment facilities have a bit more tolerance and don't have as many restrictions imposed on them, so they be more likely to provide designated areas for smoking.
