It is estimated that around 75% of clients at residential rehabilitation programs 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 free from all addictive substances, this can introduce problems that make enforcing a non-smoking facility outweigh the benefits of such restrictions. A person who is addicted to a substance that could very well kill them immediately might not get help if they must quit smoking cigarettes, so therefore, many facilities in Ulster Park allow smoking with certain restrictions, limitations and in designated areas.
Some programs allow clients to smoke anywhere, provides it is outdoors for example. Some programs have a designated smoking area, which is the only area that clients are allowed to smoke in. Because nicotine is an addictive substance, even treatment programs that allow smoking typically offer alternatives to smoking if the client wants to quit, such as nicotine patches, nicotine gum and prescriptions. There are also rehab centers 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 providing educational literature for clients to examine. In rehab centers which permit smoking in designated areas this is typically only allowed for clients, and staff are sometimes restricted from smoking at the facility or are encouraged to not smoke in front of clients.
Publicly funded substance abuse rehabilitation facilities are obligated 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 tolerance and don't have as many restrictions imposed on them, so they be more likely to offer designated areas for smoking.
