Smoking Allowed in Designated Area - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Programs - Mooresville, AL.

It is estimated that around 75% of clients at residential rehabilitation facilities for drug addiction and alcoholism are smokers. While it is a fact that nicotine is an addictive substance and clients in rehab for addiction should strive to be abstinent from all addictive substances, this can introduce problems that make enforcing a smoking ban outweigh the benefits of this restriction. A person 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 many rehab centers in Mooresville allow smoking with some restrictions, limitations and in designated areas.

Some rehab centers permit clients to smoke anywhere, provides it is outside for instance. Some programs have a designated smoking area, which is the only place that clients are allowed to smoke in. Due to the fact that nicotine is an addictive substance, even rehab facilities 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 which 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 education or by offering educational literature for clients to examine. In facilities which permit smoking in designated areas this is sometimes only authorized for clients, and staff are sometimes restricted from smoking at the facility or are encouraged to not smoke in front of clients.

Publicly funded drug and alcohol rehabilitation 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 programs have a little 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.
