It is estimated that around 75% of clients at residential treatment programs for drug and alcohol addiction are smokers. While it is a fact that nicotine is an addictive substance 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 benefits of such restrictions. Someone who is addicted to a substance that could very well kill them immediately might not go to treatment if they have to quit smoking cigarettes, so many facilities in Runge allow smoking with certain restrictions, limitations and in designated areas.
Some rehab centers permit clients to smoke anywhere, as long as it is outside for instance. Some rehab centers have a designated smoking area, which is the only place that clients are allowed to smoke in. Because nicotine is addictive, even rehab facilities that have a designated area and allow smoking usually provide alternatives to smoking if the client wants to quit, such as nicotine patches, nicotine gum and prescriptions. There are also rehab centers that permit smoking in designated areas, but educate clients on the health risks associated with smoking by including this into their program either by way of direct education or by offering informational literature for clients to consider. In programs which allow smoking in designated areas this is typically only approved for clients, whereas staff are often banned from smoking at the center or are encouraged to not smoke in front of clients.
Publicly funded addiction 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 rehabilitation facilities have a bit more leeway and don't have as many restrictions imposed on them, so they be more likely to offer designated areas for smoking.
