It is estimated that around 75% of clients at residential rehab facilities for drug and alcohol addiction are smokers. While it is a fact that nicotine is addicting and clients in rehab for addiction should strive to be free from all addictive substances, this can present problems that make enforcing a smoking ban outweigh the benefits of this restriction. Someone who is addicted to a substance as life threatening as drugs and alcohol might not agree to get help if they have to quit smoking cigarettes, so therefore, many facilities in Holly Hill allow smoking with some restrictions, limitations and in designated areas of their facility.
Some rehab centers allow clients to smoke anywhere, as long as it is outdoors for example. Some programs have a designated smoking area, which is the only area that clients can smoke. Due to the fact that nicotine is an addictive substance, even treatment facilities that have a designated area and allow smoking usually provide 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 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 educational literature for clients to examine. In facilities which permit smoking in designated areas this is sometimes only approved 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 rehab programs 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 rehab centers 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.
