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 clients in any sort of treatment for addiction should endeavor to be abstinent from all addictive substances, this can present problems that make enforcing a non-smoking facility outweigh the benefits of such restrictions. Someone who is addicted to a substance as life threatening as drugs and alcohol might not get help if they have to quit smoking cigarettes, so many facilities in Leesburg allow smoking with certain restrictions, limitations and in designated areas of their facility.
Some rehab centers permit clients to smoke anywhere, as long as it is outdoors for instance. Some programs have a designated smoking area, which is the only area that clients can smoke. Due to the fact that nicotine is addictive, even rehab centers that have a designated area and allow smoking commonly introduce alternatives to smoking if the client would like to consider this as an option, such as nicotine replacement gum, patches and prescriptions. There are also rehab centers which permit smoking in designated areas, but provide education on the health risks associated with smoking by integrating this into their program either by way of direct one on one counseling or by providing educational literature for clients to consider. In programs which permit smoking in designated areas this is sometimes only approved for clients, and staff are often banned from smoking at the facility or are encouraged to not smoke in front of clients.
Publicly funded drug and alcohol rehab programs 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 leeway and don't have as many rules imposed on them, so may be more likely to provide designated areas for smoking.
