It is estimated that approximately 75% of clients at residential treatment centers for drug addiction and alcoholism are smokers. While it is a fact that nicotine is addicting and clients 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 that could very well kill them immediately might not get help if they have to quit smoking cigarettes, so therefore, many rehab centers in Fond Du Lac allow smoking with certain limitations, restrictions and in designated areas.
Some rehab centers permit clients to smoke anywhere, as long as it is outdoors 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 addictive, even rehab facilities that have a designated area and allow smoking typically 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 which allow 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 one on one counseling or by providing informational literature for clients to consider. In facilities 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 rehab centers are obligated by the rules and restrictions in regards to smoking that are imposed by state and federal agencies which oversee and administer these programs. Private treatment centers have a bit more tolerance and don't have as many rules and restrictions imposed on them, so they be more likely to provide designated areas for smoking.
