It is estimated that around 75% of clients at residential rehab programs 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 free from all addictive substances, this can present problems that make enforcing a non-smoking facility outweigh the benefits of this restriction. Someone who is addicted to a substance as life threatening as drugs and alcohol might not agree to go to treatment if they must quit smoking cigarettes, so many facilities in Chappell Hill allow smoking with some restrictions, limitations and in designated areas.
Some rehab centers allow clients to smoke anywhere, as long as it is outside for instance. Some facilities have a designated smoking area, which is the only area that clients can smoke. Due to the fact that nicotine is addictive, even rehab centers that have a designated area and allow smoking commonly offer alternatives to smoking if the client wants to quit, such as nicotine patches, nicotine gum and prescriptions. There are also facilities which 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 education or by providing educational literature for clients to consider. In rehab centers which permit smoking in designated areas this is typically only allowed for clients, whereas staff are sometimes restricted from smoking at the facility or are asked to not smoke in front of clients.
Publicly funded drug and alcohol 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 rehabilitation facilities have a little more tolerance and don't have as many restrictions imposed on them, so may be more likely to offer designated areas for smoking.
