It is estimated that around 75% of clients at residential treatment facilities for drug and alcohol addiction are smokers. While it is true that nicotine is addicting and clients in rehab 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 as life threatening as drugs and alcohol might not get help if they must quit smoking cigarettes, so therefore, many programs in Center Line allow smoking with some limitations, restrictions and in designated areas.
Some programs permit clients to smoke anywhere, provides it is outdoors for example. Some programs have a designated smoking area, and this is the only area that clients can smoke. Because nicotine is an addictive substance, even treatment centers that have a designated area and allow smoking usually provide 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 educate clients on the health risks associated with smoking by integrating this into their program either by way of direct education or by providing educational literature for clients to examine. In facilities which allow smoking in designated areas this is typically only approved for clients, whereas staff are often restricted from smoking at the center or are asked to not smoke in front of clients.
Publicly funded addiction treatment programs 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 centers have a little more leeway and don't have as many rules and restrictions imposed on them, so may be more likely to provide designated areas for smoking.
