It is estimated that approximately 75% of clients at residential rehab facilities for drug and alcohol addiction are smokers. While it is a fact that nicotine is an addictive substance and people 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 this restriction. Someone who is addicted to a substance that could very well kill them immediately might not agree to get help if they must quit smoking cigarettes, so many rehab centers in Woodstock allow smoking with certain limitations, restrictions and in designated areas of their facility.
Some programs permit clients to smoke anywhere, provides it is outdoors for instance. Some facilities have a designated smoking area, and this is the only area that clients are allowed to smoke in. Due to the fact that nicotine is an addictive substance, even rehab centers that allow smoking commonly provide alternatives to smoking if the client wants to quit, such as nicotine patches, nicotine gum and prescriptions. There are also facilities which 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 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 center or are asked to not smoke in front of clients.
Publicly funded addiction rehab centers 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 centers have a bit more leeway and don't have as many rules and restrictions imposed on them, so they be more likely to offer designated areas for smoking.
