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 clients in rehab for addiction should strive to be free from all addictive substances, this can introduce problems that make enforcing a smoking ban outweigh the advantages of this restriction. 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 programs in Logan allow smoking with some limitations, restrictions and in designated areas.
Some programs allow clients to smoke anywhere, so long as it is outdoors for example. 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 typically offer alternatives to smoking if the client would like to consider this as an option, 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 incorporating this into their program either by way of direct one on one counseling or by providing informational literature for clients to consider. In programs which allow smoking in designated areas this is sometimes only allowed for clients, and staff are often banned from smoking at the center or are encouraged to not smoke in front of clients.
Publicly funded drug rehabilitation 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 rehabilitation centers have a little more leeway and don't have as many rules imposed on them, so they be more likely to offer designated areas for smoking.
