It is estimated that around 75% of clients at residential rehab programs for drug and alcohol addiction are smokers. While it is a fact that nicotine is addicting and clients in any sort of treatment for addiction should strive to be free from all addictive substances, this can present problems that make enforcing a smoking ban outweigh the benefits of this restriction. Someone who is addicted to a substance as life threatening as drugs and alcohol might not agree to go to treatment if they have to quit smoking cigarettes, so therefore, many facilities in Hooppole allow smoking with certain limitations, restrictions and in designated areas.
Some programs permit clients to smoke anywhere, provides it is outside for instance. Some programs have a designated smoking area, which is the only place that clients can smoke. Because nicotine is addictive, even rehab facilities that have a designated area and allow smoking usually offer 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 that allow 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 offering educational literature for clients to examine. In rehab centers which permit smoking in designated areas this is typically only approved for clients, and staff are often banned from smoking at the center or are encouraged to not smoke in front of clients.
Publicly funded drug treatment centers are bound by the rules and restrictions in regards to smoking that are enforced by state and federal agencies which oversee and administer these programs. Private rehabilitation facilities have a bit more leeway and don't have as many rules imposed on them, so may be more likely to offer designated areas for smoking.
