It is estimated that around 75% of clients at residential treatment programs for drug addiction and alcoholism are smokers. While it is true that nicotine is addicting and clients in any sort of treatment for addiction should endeavor to be free from all addictive substances, this can introduce problems that make enforcing a non-smoking facility outweigh the advantages of this restriction. Someone who is addicted to a substance as life threatening as drugs and alcohol might not go to treatment if they have to quit smoking cigarettes, so many facilities in Lyndell allow smoking with certain restrictions, limitations and in designated areas.
Some rehab centers permit clients to smoke anywhere, so long as it is outside for instance. Some programs have a designated smoking area, and this is the only place that clients can smoke. Because nicotine is an addictive substance, even treatment centers that have a designated area and allow smoking commonly provide 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 programs that permit smoking in designated areas, but provide education on the health risks associated with smoking by including this into their program either by way of direct education or by providing informational literature for clients to consider. In rehab centers which allow smoking in designated areas this is typically only authorized for clients, and staff are sometimes banned from smoking at the center or are encouraged to not smoke in front of clients.
Publicly funded drug rehab facilities 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 treatment centers have a little more leeway and don't have as many rules imposed on them, so they be more likely to provide designated areas for smoking.
