Smoking Allowed in Designated Area - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Programs - Haleyville, AL.

It is estimated that approximately 75% of clients at residential rehab programs for drug addiction and alcoholism are smokers. While it is true that nicotine is addicting and people in any sort of treatment for addiction should endeavor to be free from all addictive substances, this can introduce problems that make enforcing a non-smoking facility outweigh the benefits of this restriction. A person 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 programs in Haleyville allow smoking with certain limitations, restrictions and in designated areas of their facility.

Some facilities permit clients to smoke anywhere, so long as it is outside for example. Some rehab centers have a designated smoking area, and this is the only place that clients are allowed to smoke in. Because nicotine is an addictive substance, even rehab facilities that allow smoking typically provide alternatives to smoking if the client wants to quit, such as nicotine replacement gum, patches and prescriptions. There are also programs which permit 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 permit smoking in designated areas this is typically only allowed for clients, whereas staff are sometimes restricted from smoking at the facility or are encouraged to not smoke in front of clients.

Publicly funded substance abuse treatment facilities 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 centers have a bit more tolerance and don't have as many rules imposed on them, so may be more likely to provide designated areas for smoking.
