Smoking Allowed in Designated Area - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Programs - Trinidad, CO.

It is estimated that approximately 75% of clients at residential rehabilitation centers for drug and alcohol addiction are smokers. While it is true that nicotine is an addictive substance and clients in rehab for addiction should endeavor to be abstinent from all addictive substances, this can present problems that make enforcing a smoking ban outweigh the advantages of such restrictions. A person 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 Trinidad allow smoking with some restrictions, limitations and in designated areas of their facility.

Some facilities permit clients to smoke anywhere, provides it is outside for instance. Some programs have a designated smoking area, which is the only area that clients can smoke. Due to the fact that nicotine is addictive, even treatment centers that have a designated area and allow smoking usually offer alternatives to smoking if the client wants to quit, such as nicotine replacement gum, patches and prescriptions. There are also rehab centers 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 providing informational literature for clients to examine. In programs which allow smoking in designated areas this is typically only allowed for clients, whereas staff are often banned from smoking at the facility or are asked to not smoke in front of clients.

Publicly funded drug and alcohol rehab programs 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 facilities have a bit more leeway and don't have as many rules imposed on them, so they be more likely to provide designated areas for smoking.
