Smoking Allowed in Designated Area - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Centers - Keams Canyon, AZ.

It is estimated that approximately 75% of clients at residential rehabilitation programs for drug addiction and alcoholism are smokers. While it is a fact that nicotine is an addictive substance and people in any sort of treatment for addiction should endeavor 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 go to treatment if they must quit smoking cigarettes, so many rehab centers in Keams Canyon allow smoking with certain limitations, restrictions and in designated areas of their facility.

Some rehab centers allow clients to smoke anywhere, as long as it is outside for example. Some rehab centers have a designated smoking area, and this is the only place that clients can smoke. Because nicotine is an addictive substance, even rehab facilities 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 rehab centers 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 providing educational literature for clients to consider. In facilities which permit smoking in designated areas this is typically only approved for clients, whereas 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 rehabilitation programs have a bit 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.
