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

It is estimated that around 75% of clients at residential rehab centers for drug addiction and alcoholism are smokers. While it is a fact that nicotine is addicting and clients in rehab for addiction should strive to be abstinent from all addictive substances, this can present problems that make enforcing a non-smoking facility outweigh the benefits of such restrictions. Someone who is addicted to a substance that could very well kill them immediately might not go to treatment if they must quit smoking cigarettes, so therefore, many programs in Lamoni allow smoking with some limitations, restrictions and in designated areas.

Some facilities allow clients to smoke anywhere, so long as it is outdoors for instance. Some programs have a designated smoking area, and this is the only area that clients are allowed to smoke in. Due to the fact that nicotine is addictive, even treatment centers that have a designated area and allow smoking usually provide alternatives to smoking if the client wants to quit, such as nicotine patches, nicotine gum and prescriptions. There are also facilities that permit smoking in designated areas, but provide education on the health risks associated with smoking by integrating this into their program either by way of direct education or by offering informational literature for clients to examine. In facilities which allow smoking in designated areas this is typically only approved for clients, and staff are often restricted from smoking at the center or are asked to not smoke in front of clients.

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