It is estimated that around 75% of clients at residential rehab centers for drug and alcohol addiction are smokers. While it is true that nicotine is an addictive substance and people in rehab for addiction should strive to be abstinent from all addictive substances, this can introduce problems that make enforcing a smoking ban outweigh the benefits of such restrictions. Someone who is addicted to a substance that could very well kill them immediately might not get help if they must quit smoking cigarettes, so therefore, many rehab centers in Mc Dowell allow smoking with certain restrictions, limitations and in designated areas of their facility.
Some programs permit clients to smoke anywhere, as long as it is outside for example. Some facilities have a designated smoking area, which is the only area that clients can smoke. Due to the fact that nicotine is addictive, even treatment facilities that allow smoking commonly offer 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 provide education on the health risks associated with smoking by including 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 allowed for clients, and staff are often restricted from smoking at the facility or are asked to not smoke in front of clients.
Publicly funded substance abuse 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 treatment facilities have a bit more tolerance and don't have as many restrictions imposed on them, so may be more likely to provide designated areas for smoking.
