Smoking Allowed in Designated Area - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Facilities - Craig, CO.

It is estimated that approximately 75% of clients at residential rehabilitation facilities 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 benefits of such restrictions. Someone who is addicted to a substance as life threatening as drugs and alcohol might not agree to go to treatment if they have to quit smoking cigarettes, so many facilities in Craig allow smoking with some restrictions, limitations and in designated areas.

Some facilities permit clients to smoke anywhere, as long as it is outside for instance. Some programs have a designated smoking area, and this is the only area that clients are allowed to smoke in. Because nicotine is an addictive substance, even rehab facilities that have a designated area and allow smoking typically introduce alternatives to smoking if the client would like to consider this as an option, such as nicotine patches, nicotine gum and prescriptions. There are also rehab centers which 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 providing informational literature for clients to examine. In programs which allow smoking in designated areas this is typically only approved for clients, whereas staff are sometimes banned from smoking at the center or are encouraged to not smoke in front of clients.

Publicly funded drug and alcohol rehab facilities are obligated 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 tolerance and don't have as many rules and restrictions imposed on them, so they be more likely to provide designated areas for smoking.
