Smoking Allowed in Designated Area - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Centers - Samson, AL.

It is estimated that approximately 75% of clients at residential rehab facilities 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 introduce problems that make enforcing a smoking ban outweigh the advantages of this restriction. Someone who is addicted to a substance that could very well kill them immediately might not agree to go to treatment if they have to quit smoking cigarettes, so therefore, many rehab centers in Samson allow smoking with certain restrictions, limitations and in designated areas.

Some facilities permit clients to smoke anywhere, as long as it is outdoors for example. Some programs have a designated smoking area, and this is the only place that clients can smoke. Due to the fact that nicotine is an addictive substance, even treatment programs that have a designated area and allow smoking usually provide alternatives to smoking if the client wants to quit, such as nicotine patches, nicotine gum and prescriptions. There are also programs that permit smoking in designated areas, but provide education on the health risks associated with smoking by integrating this into their program either by way of direct education or by providing educational literature for clients to consider. In facilities which allow smoking in designated areas this is typically only authorized for clients, and staff are sometimes restricted from smoking at the facility or are asked to not smoke in front of clients.

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