Smoking Allowed in Designated Area - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Centers - Carroll, IA.

It is estimated that around 75% of clients at residential treatment programs for drug addiction and alcoholism are smokers. While it is true that nicotine is an addictive substance 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 therefore, many rehab centers in Carroll allow smoking with some limitations, restrictions and in designated areas.

Some programs allow clients to smoke anywhere, as long as it is outside for instance. Some facilities 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 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 replacement gum, patches and prescriptions. There are also programs that allow smoking in designated areas, but educate clients on the health risks associated with smoking by integrating this into their program either by way of direct one on one counseling or by providing informational literature for clients to consider. In facilities which allow smoking in designated areas this is typically only allowed for clients, whereas staff are sometimes restricted from smoking at the facility or are encouraged to not smoke in front of clients.

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