It is estimated that around 75% of clients at residential rehabilitation centers for drug addiction and alcoholism are smokers. While it is a fact that nicotine is addicting and people in rehab for addiction should strive to be abstinent from all addictive substances, this can introduce problems that make enforcing a non-smoking facility outweigh the benefits 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 therefore, many programs in Beloit allow smoking with certain restrictions, limitations and in designated areas.
Some rehab centers permit clients to smoke anywhere, provides it is outside for instance. Some rehab centers have a designated smoking area, and this is the only place that clients can smoke. Due to the fact that nicotine is an addictive substance, even rehab facilities that have a designated area and allow smoking commonly 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 facilities which permit smoking in designated areas, but educate clients on the health risks associated with smoking by integrating this into their program either by way of direct education or by providing educational literature for clients to consider. In programs which allow smoking in designated areas this is typically only allowed for clients, and staff are sometimes banned from smoking at the facility or are asked to not smoke in front of clients.
Publicly funded substance abuse treatment 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 rehabilitation programs have a bit more leeway and don't have as many rules imposed on them, so they be more likely to provide designated areas for smoking.
