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

It is estimated that around 75% of clients at residential rehab programs for drug addiction and alcoholism are smokers. While it is a fact that nicotine is an addictive substance and clients in any sort of treatment for addiction should endeavor to be free from all addictive substances, this can introduce problems that make enforcing a non-smoking facility outweigh the benefits of such restrictions. A person who is addicted to a substance that could very well kill them immediately might not agree to get help if they have to quit smoking cigarettes, so therefore, many facilities in Sac City allow smoking with certain restrictions, limitations and in designated areas.

Some programs permit 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 can smoke. Due to the fact that nicotine is an addictive substance, even rehab programs 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 facilities which 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 one on one counseling or by offering educational literature for clients to consider. In programs which permit smoking in designated areas this is typically only authorized for clients, whereas staff are often banned from smoking at the facility or are encouraged to not smoke in front of clients.

Publicly funded drug and alcohol rehabilitation 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 treatment centers have a little 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.
