It is estimated that around 75% of clients at residential rehabilitation centers for drug and alcohol addiction are smokers. While it is true that nicotine is addicting and people 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. Someone who is addicted to a substance that could very well kill them immediately might not get help if they have to quit smoking cigarettes, so many facilities in Havre allow smoking with some limitations, restrictions and in designated areas.
Some programs allow clients to smoke anywhere, provides it is outside for example. Some facilities have a designated smoking area, which is the only place that clients can smoke. Because nicotine is addictive, even rehab facilities 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 programs that permit 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 examine. In programs which permit smoking in designated areas this is typically only approved for clients, whereas staff are sometimes restricted from smoking at the facility or are asked to not smoke in front of clients.
Publicly funded addiction rehabilitation centers 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 programs have a bit more leeway and don't have as many rules imposed on them, so may be more likely to offer designated areas for smoking.
