Smoking Allowed in Designated Area - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Facilities - Buckeye, IA.

It is estimated that around 75% of clients at residential rehabilitation programs for drug and alcohol addiction are smokers. While it is true that nicotine is an addictive substance and people in any sort of treatment for addiction should strive to be free 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 as life threatening as drugs and alcohol might not get help if they have to quit smoking cigarettes, so many facilities in Buckeye allow smoking with certain restrictions, limitations and in designated areas of their facility.

Some rehab centers permit clients to smoke anywhere, so long as it is outside for instance. Some rehab centers have a designated smoking area, and this is the only area that clients can smoke. Because nicotine is addictive, even rehab centers that allow smoking commonly 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 that 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 consider. In rehab centers which permit smoking in designated areas this is typically only authorized for clients, whereas staff are sometimes restricted from smoking at the center or are encouraged to not smoke in front of clients.

Publicly funded substance abuse rehabilitation centers 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 centers have a bit more leeway and don't have as many rules and restrictions imposed on them, so may be more likely to offer designated areas for smoking.
