It is estimated that around 75% of clients at residential rehab facilities for drug addiction and alcoholism are smokers. While it is a fact that nicotine is an addictive substance and clients in rehab for addiction should endeavor to be abstinent from all addictive substances, this can introduce problems that make enforcing a non-smoking facility outweigh the advantages of this restriction. Someone who is addicted to a substance as life threatening as drugs and alcohol might not agree to get help if they have to quit smoking cigarettes, so therefore, many programs in Pecan Hill allow smoking with certain restrictions, limitations and in designated areas of their facility.
Some facilities permit clients to smoke anywhere, provides it is outside for instance. Some facilities have a designated smoking area, which is the only place that clients can smoke. Because nicotine is addictive, even treatment programs that allow smoking commonly offer alternatives to smoking if the client wants to quit, such as nicotine replacement gum, patches and prescriptions. There are also programs which allow smoking in designated areas, but provide education on the health risks associated with smoking by including this into their program either by way of direct education or by providing educational literature for clients to examine. In rehab centers which allow smoking in designated areas this is sometimes only approved for clients, and staff are sometimes banned from smoking at the center or are asked to not smoke in front of clients.
Publicly funded substance abuse rehabilitation programs are obligated by the rules and restrictions in regards to smoking that are enforced by state and federal agencies which oversee and administer these programs. Private treatment centers have a bit more leeway and don't have as many rules imposed on them, so they be more likely to provide designated areas for smoking.
