It is estimated that approximately 75% of clients at residential rehabilitation programs for drug addiction and alcoholism 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 introduce problems that make enforcing a smoking ban outweigh the benefits of this restriction. A person who is addicted to a substance as life threatening as drugs and alcohol might not agree to go to treatment if they have to quit smoking cigarettes, so therefore, many programs in Robbinsville allow smoking with certain restrictions, limitations and in designated areas.
Some rehab centers allow clients to smoke anywhere, so long as it is outside for instance. Some rehab centers have a designated smoking area, and this is the only place that clients can smoke. Because nicotine is addictive, even rehab centers that allow smoking usually offer 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 programs which 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 educational literature for clients to examine. In programs which permit smoking in designated areas this is sometimes only approved for clients, and staff are sometimes banned from smoking at the facility or are asked to not smoke in front of clients.
Publicly funded drug and alcohol rehab facilities 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 little more tolerance and don't have as many rules and restrictions imposed on them, so they be more likely to provide designated areas for smoking.
