It is estimated that approximately 75% of clients at residential rehabilitation facilities for drug and alcohol addiction are smokers. While it is true that nicotine is addicting and people in rehab for addiction should endeavor to be free from all addictive substances, this can present problems that make enforcing a smoking ban outweigh the advantages of such restrictions. Someone who is addicted to a substance as life threatening as drugs and alcohol might not get help if they have to quit smoking cigarettes, so many facilities in Tuscola allow smoking with certain limitations, restrictions and in designated areas.
Some rehab centers allow clients to smoke anywhere, so long as it is outside for example. Some rehab centers have a designated smoking area, and this is the only place that clients are allowed to smoke in. Due to the fact that nicotine is addictive, even treatment facilities that allow smoking typically 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 facilities 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 providing informational literature for clients to consider. In facilities which permit smoking in designated areas this is typically only approved for clients, and staff are sometimes banned from smoking at the center or are encouraged to not smoke in front of clients.
Publicly funded substance abuse rehab centers 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 rehab facilities have a little more tolerance and don't have as many rules imposed on them, so may be more likely to provide designated areas for smoking.
