It is estimated that approximately 75% of clients at residential rehab facilities for drug addiction and alcoholism are smokers. While it is a fact that nicotine is addicting and people in rehab 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 get help if they must quit smoking cigarettes, so many rehab centers in Anahuac allow smoking with some limitations, restrictions and in designated areas of their facility.
Some programs allow 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 can smoke. Because nicotine is addictive, even treatment facilities that allow smoking commonly 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 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 providing educational literature for clients to consider. In programs which allow smoking in designated areas this is typically only approved for clients, and staff are sometimes restricted from smoking at the facility or are encouraged to not smoke in front of clients.
Publicly funded drug rehab facilities are bound by the rules and restrictions in regards to smoking that are enforced by state and federal agencies which oversee and administer these programs. Private rehab programs have a bit more leeway and don't have as many restrictions imposed on them, so they be more likely to offer designated areas for smoking.
