It is estimated that approximately 75% of clients at residential rehab centers for drug and alcohol addiction 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 introduce problems that make enforcing a smoking ban outweigh the advantages of such restrictions. 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 facilities in Iola allow smoking with certain restrictions, limitations and in designated areas.
Some facilities allow clients to smoke anywhere, so long as it is outside for example. Some rehab centers have a designated smoking area, and this is the only place that clients are allowed to smoke in. Because nicotine is addictive, even rehab programs that have a designated area and allow smoking usually provide alternatives to smoking if the client wants to quit, such as nicotine replacement gum, patches and prescriptions. There are also facilities which permit smoking in designated areas, but educate clients 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 allow smoking in designated areas this is sometimes only authorized for clients, whereas staff are sometimes banned from smoking at the center or are encouraged to not smoke in front of clients.
Publicly funded drug and alcohol 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 rehab programs have a little more leeway and don't have as many restrictions imposed on them, so may be more likely to offer designated areas for smoking.
