It is estimated that around 75% of clients at residential treatment centers for drug and alcohol addiction are smokers. While it is a fact that nicotine is an addictive substance and clients in any sort of treatment for addiction should strive to be abstinent from all addictive substances, this can present problems that make enforcing a smoking ban 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 have to quit smoking cigarettes, so many programs in Seagoville allow smoking with certain restrictions, limitations and in designated areas.
Some facilities allow clients to smoke anywhere, as long as it is outdoors for instance. Some rehab centers 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 facilities that allow smoking usually provide alternatives to smoking if the client would like to consider this as an option, such as nicotine replacement gum, patches and prescriptions. There are also rehab centers which allow 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 facilities which allow smoking in designated areas this is typically only allowed for clients, and staff are often restricted from smoking at the center or are asked to not smoke in front of clients.
Publicly funded drug treatment programs are obligated 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 facilities 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.
