Smoking Allowed in Designated Area - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Programs - Rock Island, IL.

It is estimated that approximately 75% of clients at residential treatment centers for drug addiction and alcoholism are smokers. While it is true that nicotine is addicting and people 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. 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 therefore, many rehab centers in Rock Island allow smoking with some restrictions, limitations and in designated areas.

Some facilities allow 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 are allowed to smoke in. Due to the fact that nicotine is an addictive substance, even treatment programs that have a designated area and allow smoking usually introduce alternatives to smoking if the client wants to quit, such as nicotine patches, nicotine gum and prescriptions. There are also facilities which 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 providing educational literature for clients to consider. In rehab centers which allow smoking in designated areas this is sometimes only authorized 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 and alcohol rehab 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 tolerance and don't have as many rules and restrictions imposed on them, so may be more likely to provide designated areas for smoking.
