It is estimated that approximately 75% of clients at residential treatment facilities for drug addiction and alcoholism are smokers. While it is true that nicotine is an addictive substance and clients in any sort of treatment for addiction should strive to be free from all addictive substances, this can present problems that make enforcing a non-smoking facility outweigh the advantages of such restrictions. A person who is addicted to a substance as life threatening as drugs and alcohol might not agree to go to treatment if they must quit smoking cigarettes, so many rehab centers in Stanton allow smoking with certain restrictions, limitations and in designated areas.
Some facilities allow clients to smoke anywhere, provides it is outdoors for example. Some facilities have a designated smoking area, which is the only place that clients can smoke. Because nicotine is addictive, even rehab facilities that allow smoking commonly provide 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 programs that allow smoking in designated areas, but provide education on the health risks associated with smoking by integrating this into their program either by way of direct one on one counseling or by offering informational literature for clients to consider. In programs which allow smoking in designated areas this is sometimes only allowed for clients, whereas staff are often banned from smoking at the center or are encouraged to not smoke in front of clients.
Publicly funded addiction 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 rehab centers have a bit more tolerance and don't have as many rules imposed on them, so they be more likely to provide designated areas for smoking.
