It is estimated that around 75% of clients at residential rehab programs for drug addiction and alcoholism are smokers. While it is true that nicotine is an addictive substance and clients in rehab for addiction should endeavor to be free from all addictive substances, this can present problems that make enforcing a smoking ban outweigh the advantages 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 therefore, many programs in Briggs allow smoking with certain restrictions, limitations and in designated areas.
Some facilities allow clients to smoke anywhere, provides it is outside for example. Some rehab centers have a designated smoking area, and this is the only area that clients can smoke. Because nicotine is an addictive substance, even treatment facilities 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 provide education on the health risks associated with smoking by incorporating this into their program either by way of direct one on one counseling or by providing informational literature for clients to examine. In rehab centers which permit smoking in designated areas this is typically only allowed for clients, and staff are often restricted from smoking at the facility or are asked to not smoke in front of clients.
Publicly funded drug treatment 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 rehab centers have a little more leeway and don't have as many restrictions imposed on them, so they be more likely to provide designated areas for smoking.
