It is estimated that approximately 75% of clients at residential rehab facilities for drug addiction and alcoholism are smokers. While it is true that nicotine is an addictive substance and people in any sort of treatment for addiction should endeavor to be free from all addictive substances, this can introduce problems that make enforcing a smoking ban outweigh the advantages of such restrictions. A person who is addicted to a substance that could very well kill them immediately might not agree to get help if they have to quit smoking cigarettes, so many rehab centers in Brandy Station allow smoking with certain restrictions, limitations and in designated areas of their facility.
Some facilities allow clients to smoke anywhere, so long as it is outdoors for example. Some facilities have a designated smoking area, which is the only area that clients are allowed to smoke in. Because nicotine is addictive, even rehab facilities that allow smoking usually offer alternatives to smoking if the client wants to quit, such as nicotine replacement gum, patches and prescriptions. There are also programs 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 education or by offering informational literature for clients to consider. In rehab centers which permit smoking in designated areas this is typically only authorized for clients, and staff are sometimes restricted from smoking at the facility or are encouraged to not smoke in front of clients.
Publicly funded drug rehabilitation centers 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 centers have a little more leeway and don't have as many rules imposed on them, so they be more likely to offer designated areas for smoking.
