Smoking Allowed in Designated Area - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Programs - Onawa, IA.

It is estimated that around 75% of clients at residential rehab programs for drug and alcohol addiction are smokers. While it is true that nicotine is addicting and clients in any sort of treatment for addiction should strive to be abstinent from all addictive substances, this can introduce problems that make enforcing a non-smoking facility outweigh the advantages of this restriction. A person who is addicted to a substance that could very well kill them immediately might not agree to go to treatment if they must quit smoking cigarettes, so many facilities in Onawa allow smoking with some restrictions, limitations and in designated areas.

Some facilities permit clients to smoke anywhere, as long as it is outdoors for example. Some facilities have a designated smoking area, which is the only area that clients can smoke. Because nicotine is addictive, even treatment centers that allow smoking usually offer 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 incorporating this into their program either by way of direct education or by providing informational literature for clients to examine. In programs which permit smoking in designated areas this is sometimes only allowed for clients, and staff are often restricted 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 enforced by state and federal agencies which oversee and administer these programs. Private rehabilitation programs have a bit more tolerance and don't have as many rules imposed on them, so they be more likely to provide designated areas for smoking.
