Smoking Allowed in Designated Area - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Facilities - Lineville, AL.

It is estimated that approximately 75% of clients at residential rehabilitation centers for drug addiction and alcoholism are smokers. While it is true that nicotine is addicting and clients 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 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 facilities in Lineville allow smoking with certain limitations, restrictions and in designated areas.

Some programs allow clients to smoke anywhere, as long as it is outdoors for example. Some programs have a designated smoking area, which is the only place that clients can smoke. Because nicotine is addictive, even rehab programs that allow smoking typically offer alternatives to smoking if the client would like to consider this as an option, such as nicotine replacement gum, patches and prescriptions. There are also facilities which permit 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 consider. In rehab centers which permit smoking in designated areas this is typically only approved for clients, whereas staff are often banned from smoking at the facility or are asked to not smoke in front of clients.

Publicly funded drug rehabilitation 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 treatment programs have a bit more leeway and don't have as many rules and restrictions imposed on them, so may be more likely to provide designated areas for smoking.
