It is estimated that approximately 75% of clients at residential treatment facilities for drug and alcohol addiction are smokers. While it is true that nicotine is addicting 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 advantages of this restriction. A person who is addicted to a substance as life threatening as drugs and alcohol might not agree to get help if they must quit smoking cigarettes, so therefore, many programs in Arvonia allow smoking with some limitations, restrictions and in designated areas.
Some programs allow clients to smoke anywhere, as long as it is outside for instance. Some rehab centers have a designated smoking area, which is the only area that clients can smoke. Because nicotine is addictive, even rehab facilities that allow smoking typically 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 incorporating this into their program either by way of direct education or by offering educational literature for clients to consider. In rehab centers which allow smoking in designated areas this is typically only approved for clients, and staff are sometimes banned from smoking at the center or are encouraged to not smoke in front of clients.
Publicly funded drug rehabilitation 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 treatment centers have a bit more leeway and don't have as many rules and restrictions imposed on them, so may be more likely to provide designated areas for smoking.
