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 rehab for addiction should strive to be abstinent from all addictive substances, this can present problems that make enforcing a smoking ban outweigh the advantages of such restrictions. A person who is addicted to a substance that could very well kill them immediately might not agree to go to treatment if they must quit smoking cigarettes, so therefore, many programs in Feasterville allow smoking with certain restrictions, limitations and in designated areas of their facility.
Some rehab centers permit clients to smoke anywhere, provides 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 treatment facilities that allow smoking typically offer alternatives to smoking if the client wants to quit, such as nicotine replacement gum, patches and prescriptions. There are also facilities that permit 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 education or by providing informational literature for clients to examine. In rehab centers which permit smoking in designated areas this is typically only allowed for clients, whereas staff are sometimes banned from smoking at the center or are asked to not smoke in front of clients.
Publicly funded drug and alcohol rehabilitation centers 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 rehabilitation centers have a bit more tolerance and don't have as many restrictions imposed on them, so may be more likely to provide designated areas for smoking.
