It is estimated that approximately 75% of clients at residential treatment facilities for drug and alcohol addiction are smokers. While it is a fact that nicotine is addicting and clients in rehab for addiction should endeavor 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 have to quit smoking cigarettes, so therefore, many rehab centers in Calumet City allow smoking with some limitations, restrictions and in designated areas of their facility.
Some rehab centers permit clients to smoke anywhere, provides it is outside for example. Some facilities have a designated smoking area, which is the only place that clients can smoke. Because nicotine is addictive, even rehab centers that allow smoking commonly introduce alternatives to smoking if the client would like to consider this as an option, such as nicotine patches, nicotine gum and prescriptions. There are also rehab centers which allow smoking in designated areas, but provide education on the health risks associated with smoking by incorporating this into their program either by way of direct one on one counseling or by providing informational literature for clients to examine. In programs which allow smoking in designated areas this is typically only allowed for clients, and staff are often banned from smoking at the center or are encouraged to not smoke in front of clients.
Publicly funded addiction rehabilitation 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 rehabilitation 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.
