It is estimated that approximately 75% of clients at residential rehab facilities for drug addiction and alcoholism are smokers. While it is a fact that nicotine is an addictive substance and clients in rehab for addiction should endeavor to be free from all addictive substances, this can introduce problems that make enforcing a non-smoking facility outweigh the benefits of this restriction. Someone who is addicted to a substance as life threatening as drugs and alcohol might not get help if they must quit smoking cigarettes, so many facilities in Norcatur allow smoking with certain restrictions, limitations and in designated areas of their facility.
Some facilities permit clients to smoke anywhere, so long as it is outdoors for instance. Some facilities have a designated smoking area, and this is the only area that clients can smoke. Because nicotine is addictive, even rehab facilities that have a designated area and allow smoking typically introduce alternatives to smoking if the client wants to quit, such as nicotine replacement gum, patches and prescriptions. There are also facilities 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 education or by offering informational literature for clients to consider. In rehab centers which permit smoking in designated areas this is sometimes only authorized for clients, whereas staff are often banned from smoking at the center or are encouraged to not smoke in front of clients.
Publicly funded addiction rehab programs 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 treatment centers have a bit more tolerance and don't have as many restrictions imposed on them, so may be more likely to provide designated areas for smoking.
