It is estimated that around 75% of clients at residential treatment facilities for drug addiction and alcoholism are smokers. While it is a fact that nicotine is an addictive substance and people in any sort of treatment for addiction should endeavor 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 agree to get help if they must quit smoking cigarettes, so many rehab centers in Brigham City allow smoking with some restrictions, limitations and in designated areas.
Some programs allow clients to smoke anywhere, so long as it is outside for example. Some facilities have a designated smoking area, and this is the only area that clients are allowed to smoke in. Due to the fact that nicotine is addictive, even rehab centers that allow smoking commonly 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 facilities which 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 providing educational 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 and alcohol rehabilitation programs are bound by the rules and restrictions in regards to smoking that are imposed by state and federal agencies which oversee and administer these programs. Private rehab programs have a little more leeway and don't have as many rules imposed on them, so may be more likely to offer designated areas for smoking.
