It is estimated that approximately 75% of clients at residential rehab programs 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 free from all addictive substances, this can introduce problems that make enforcing a non-smoking facility outweigh the benefits of such restrictions. A person who is addicted to a substance as life threatening as drugs and alcohol might not agree to go to treatment if they must quit smoking cigarettes, so therefore, many rehab centers in Willis Wharf allow smoking with some limitations, restrictions and in designated areas.
Some programs permit clients to smoke anywhere, so long as it is outdoors for example. Some facilities have a designated smoking area, which is the only place that clients can smoke. Because nicotine is an addictive substance, even rehab facilities that have a designated area and allow smoking usually introduce alternatives to smoking if the client wants to quit, such as nicotine patches, nicotine gum and prescriptions. There are also programs that allow 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 examine. In programs which allow smoking in designated areas this is typically only allowed for clients, and staff are sometimes banned from smoking at the center or are asked to not smoke in front of clients.
Publicly funded drug and alcohol rehab facilities 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 little more leeway and don't have as many restrictions imposed on them, so may be more likely to provide designated areas for smoking.
