It is estimated that around 75% of clients at residential rehab centers for drug addiction and alcoholism 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 introduce problems that make enforcing a non-smoking facility outweigh the benefits of this restriction. Someone who is addicted to a substance that could very well kill them immediately might not get help if they must quit smoking cigarettes, so many facilities in Martinsville allow smoking with some limitations, restrictions and in designated areas.
Some programs permit clients to smoke anywhere, as 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 treatment programs that allow smoking commonly provide alternatives to smoking if the client would like to consider this as an option, such as nicotine patches, nicotine gum and prescriptions. There are also programs which allow 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 one on one counseling or by offering educational literature for clients to consider. In programs which permit smoking in designated areas this is sometimes only approved for clients, and staff are sometimes banned from smoking at the facility or are asked to not smoke in front of clients.
Publicly funded drug and alcohol treatment centers 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 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.
