It is estimated that around 75% of clients at residential rehab programs 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 free from all addictive substances, this can introduce problems that make enforcing a smoking ban outweigh the advantages of such restrictions. Someone who is addicted to a substance that could very well kill them immediately might not agree to get help if they have to quit smoking cigarettes, so therefore, many rehab centers in Hernshaw allow smoking with some limitations, restrictions and in designated areas of their facility.
Some facilities allow clients to smoke anywhere, as long as it is outside for example. Some rehab centers have a designated smoking area, and this is the only area that clients can smoke. Because nicotine is addictive, even rehab centers that have a designated area and allow smoking typically introduce alternatives to smoking if the client wants to quit, such as nicotine patches, nicotine gum and prescriptions. There are also rehab centers which allow 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 one on one counseling or by offering educational literature for clients to consider. In programs which allow smoking in designated areas this is typically only allowed for clients, whereas staff are often banned from smoking at the center or are asked to not smoke in front of clients.
Publicly funded addiction 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 treatment centers have a little more leeway and don't have as many rules imposed on them, so they be more likely to provide designated areas for smoking.
