It is estimated that around 75% of clients at residential rehab centers for drug and alcohol addiction are smokers. While it is a fact that nicotine is addicting and clients in rehab for addiction should strive to be abstinent from all addictive substances, this can present problems that make enforcing a non-smoking facility outweigh the advantages of such restrictions. 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 rehab centers in Laguna Park allow smoking with some restrictions, limitations and in designated areas of their facility.
Some programs permit clients to smoke anywhere, as long as it is outdoors for example. Some programs have a designated smoking area, which is the only area that clients are allowed to smoke in. Due to the fact that nicotine is addictive, even treatment programs that allow smoking commonly introduce 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 integrating this into their program either by way of direct one on one counseling or by providing informational literature for clients to consider. In rehab centers which allow smoking in designated areas this is typically 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 addiction 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 centers have a bit more tolerance and don't have as many rules imposed on them, so may be more likely to offer designated areas for smoking.
