It is estimated that around 75% of clients at residential treatment facilities for drug addiction and alcoholism are smokers. While it is true that nicotine is addicting and people in rehab for addiction should strive to be free from all addictive substances, this can introduce problems that make enforcing a non-smoking facility outweigh the advantages of this restriction. A person who is addicted to a substance that could very well kill them immediately might not go to treatment if they must quit smoking cigarettes, so many facilities in San Elizario allow smoking with some restrictions, limitations and in designated areas.
Some programs permit clients to smoke anywhere, so long as it is outside for example. Some programs have a designated smoking area, and this is the only place that clients are allowed to smoke in. Because nicotine is an addictive substance, even rehab facilities that have a designated area and allow smoking typically 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 incorporating this into their program either by way of direct one on one counseling or by providing educational literature for clients to examine. In rehab centers which permit smoking in designated areas this is sometimes only approved for clients, and staff are often restricted from smoking at the facility or are asked to not smoke in front of clients.
Publicly funded drug and alcohol rehab facilities 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 rehab centers have a bit more leeway and don't have as many rules imposed on them, so may be more likely to provide designated areas for smoking.
