Smoking Allowed in Designated Area - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Centers - Georgetown, DE.

It is estimated that around 75% of clients at residential treatment facilities for drug and alcohol addiction are smokers. While it is true that nicotine is addicting and people in rehab for addiction should endeavor 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 get help if they must quit smoking cigarettes, so many rehab centers in Georgetown allow smoking with certain limitations, restrictions and in designated areas of their facility.

Some rehab centers allow clients to smoke anywhere, so long as it is outdoors for instance. Some rehab centers have a designated smoking area, which is the only place that clients are allowed to smoke in. Because nicotine is addictive, even rehab centers that allow smoking usually provide alternatives to smoking if the client wants to quit, such as nicotine replacement gum, patches and prescriptions. There are also facilities 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 education or by providing informational literature for clients to consider. In programs which allow smoking in designated areas this is typically only authorized for clients, and staff are often restricted from smoking at the facility or are asked to not smoke in front of clients.

Publicly funded substance abuse treatment programs 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 rehab programs have a little more tolerance and don't have as many rules and restrictions imposed on them, so they be more likely to offer designated areas for smoking.
