It is estimated that around 75% of clients at residential treatment programs for drug addiction and alcoholism are smokers. While it is true that nicotine is an addictive substance and clients in any sort of treatment for addiction should strive to be abstinent from all addictive substances, this can introduce problems that make enforcing a non-smoking facility outweigh the advantages of such restrictions. A person who is addicted to a substance as life threatening as drugs and alcohol might not go to treatment if they have to quit smoking cigarettes, so many rehab centers in Kinmundy allow smoking with certain restrictions, limitations and in designated areas of their facility.
Some facilities allow clients to smoke anywhere, provides it is outdoors for instance. Some rehab centers have a designated smoking area, and this is the only area that clients can smoke. Due to the fact that nicotine is addictive, even rehab programs that allow smoking usually provide alternatives to smoking if the client wants to quit, such as nicotine patches, nicotine gum and prescriptions. There are also programs that permit smoking in designated areas, but educate clients on the health risks associated with smoking by including this into their program either by way of direct education or by offering informational literature for clients to examine. In facilities which permit smoking in designated areas this is typically only allowed for clients, and staff are often restricted from smoking at the center or are encouraged to not smoke in front of clients.
Publicly funded addiction treatment centers are obligated by the rules and restrictions in regards to smoking that are enforced by state and federal agencies which oversee and administer these programs. Private rehab centers have a bit more tolerance and don't have as many restrictions imposed on them, so may be more likely to offer designated areas for smoking.
