It is estimated that approximately 75% of clients at residential rehabilitation centers for drug and alcohol addiction are smokers. While it is a fact that nicotine is an addictive substance and people in any sort of treatment for addiction should strive to be abstinent from all addictive substances, this can present problems that make enforcing a smoking ban outweigh the advantages of this restriction. A person who is addicted to a substance as life threatening as drugs and alcohol might not go to treatment if they must quit smoking cigarettes, so many programs in Reynoldsville allow smoking with certain limitations, restrictions and in designated areas.
Some facilities permit clients to smoke anywhere, provides it is outside for instance. Some rehab centers have a designated smoking area, which is the only area that clients can smoke. Due to the fact that nicotine is an addictive substance, even rehab centers that allow smoking usually introduce alternatives to smoking if the client wants to quit, such as nicotine replacement gum, patches and prescriptions. There are also programs that allow smoking in designated areas, but educate clients on the health risks associated with smoking by incorporating this into their program either by way of direct one on one counseling or by offering educational literature for clients to examine. In programs which permit smoking in designated areas this is sometimes only authorized for clients, whereas staff are often restricted from smoking at the center or are asked 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 programs have a little more tolerance and don't have as many restrictions imposed on them, so may be more likely to provide designated areas for smoking.
