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

It is estimated that approximately 75% of clients at residential rehab programs for drug and alcohol addiction are smokers. While it is true that nicotine is addicting and clients in any sort of treatment for addiction should strive to be abstinent from all addictive substances, this can present problems that make enforcing a smoking ban outweigh the benefits of such restrictions. Someone 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 many rehab centers in Troy allow smoking with some restrictions, limitations and in designated areas of their facility.

Some rehab centers permit clients to smoke anywhere, as long as it is outside for example. Some programs have a designated smoking area, and this is the only place that clients are allowed to smoke in. Because nicotine is addictive, even treatment programs that allow smoking typically provide 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 programs that 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 one on one counseling or by offering informational literature for clients to examine. In programs which permit smoking in designated areas this is typically only authorized for clients, whereas staff are sometimes banned from smoking at the center or are asked to not smoke in front of clients.

Publicly funded drug treatment centers are bound by the rules and restrictions in regards to smoking that are enforced by state and federal agencies which oversee and administer these programs. Private rehab programs have a bit more leeway and don't have as many rules imposed on them, so they be more likely to offer designated areas for smoking.
