It is estimated that approximately 75% of clients at residential treatment programs 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 non-smoking facility outweigh the advantages of such restrictions. A person who is addicted to a substance as life threatening as drugs and alcohol might not go to treatment if they must quit smoking cigarettes, so many rehab centers in Mccutcheon Field allow smoking with some restrictions, limitations and in designated areas.
Some facilities permit clients to smoke anywhere, as long as it is outdoors for example. Some programs have a designated smoking area, and this is the only area that clients can smoke. Due to the fact that nicotine is addictive, even treatment facilities that have a designated area and allow smoking usually provide alternatives to smoking if the client wants to quit, such as nicotine replacement gum, patches and prescriptions. There are also rehab centers that allow smoking in designated areas, but provide education on the health risks associated with smoking by including this into their program either by way of direct one on one counseling or by offering educational literature for clients to consider. In rehab centers which permit smoking in designated areas this is typically only authorized for clients, whereas staff are often restricted from smoking at the facility or are encouraged to not smoke in front of clients.
Publicly funded drug rehab programs 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 rehab facilities have a bit more tolerance and don't have as many restrictions imposed on them, so may be more likely to offer designated areas for smoking.
