Smoking Allowed in Designated Area - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Facilities - Demopolis, AL.

It is estimated that around 75% of clients at residential treatment facilities for drug and alcohol addiction are smokers. While it is a fact that nicotine is an addictive substance and people in rehab for addiction should endeavor to be abstinent from all addictive substances, this can present problems that make enforcing a smoking ban outweigh the advantages of such restrictions. 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 therefore, many rehab centers in Demopolis allow smoking with certain restrictions, limitations and in designated areas.

Some facilities permit clients to smoke anywhere, provides it is outdoors for instance. Some rehab centers have a designated smoking area, which is the only place that clients can smoke. Due to the fact that nicotine is addictive, even treatment programs that allow smoking usually offer alternatives to smoking if the client wants to quit, such as nicotine patches, nicotine gum and prescriptions. There are also facilities that allow smoking in designated areas, but educate clients on the health risks associated with smoking by including this into their program either by way of direct education or by offering informational literature for clients to consider. In rehab centers which allow smoking in designated areas this is typically only authorized for clients, whereas staff are sometimes banned from smoking at the center or are encouraged to not smoke in front of clients.

Publicly funded addiction treatment centers 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 little more leeway and don't have as many rules and restrictions imposed on them, so they be more likely to offer designated areas for smoking.
