It is estimated that around 75% of clients at residential rehabilitation facilities 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 endeavor to be free from all addictive substances, this can present problems that make enforcing a non-smoking facility outweigh the advantages of this restriction. Someone who is addicted to a substance that could very well kill them immediately might not get help if they must quit smoking cigarettes, so many facilities in Lansing allow smoking with certain restrictions, limitations and in designated areas.
Some programs allow clients to smoke anywhere, so long as it is outside for instance. Some programs have a designated smoking area, which is the only place that clients are allowed to smoke in. Due to the fact that nicotine is an addictive substance, even rehab centers that have a designated area and allow smoking usually offer alternatives to smoking if the client wants to quit, such as nicotine replacement gum, patches and prescriptions. There are also rehab centers which allow smoking in designated areas, but educate clients on the health risks associated with smoking by integrating this into their program either by way of direct education or by offering informational literature for clients to consider. In rehab centers which permit smoking in designated areas this is typically only allowed for clients, and staff are sometimes banned from smoking at the center or are asked to not smoke in front of clients.
Publicly funded substance abuse treatment facilities are obligated 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 centers 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.
