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 an addictive substance and clients in rehab for addiction should strive to be free from all addictive substances, this can introduce problems that make enforcing a non-smoking facility outweigh the benefits of such restrictions. A person who is addicted to a substance that could very well kill them immediately might not go to treatment if they must quit smoking cigarettes, so many programs in Borger allow smoking with certain limitations, restrictions and in designated areas.
Some programs permit clients to smoke anywhere, as long as it is outside for example. Some programs have a designated smoking area, and this is the only place that clients are allowed to smoke in. Because nicotine is addictive, even treatment facilities that have a designated area and allow smoking typically provide alternatives to smoking if the client wants to quit, such as nicotine patches, nicotine gum and prescriptions. There are also programs which 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 offering informational literature for clients to examine. In programs which allow smoking in designated areas this is sometimes only allowed for clients, and staff are sometimes banned from smoking at the facility or are encouraged to not smoke in front of clients.
Publicly funded substance abuse rehabilitation centers 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 treatment facilities have a bit more tolerance and don't have as many rules and restrictions imposed on them, so may be more likely to provide designated areas for smoking.
