Smoking Allowed in Designated Area - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Programs - Liberty, KY.

It is estimated that approximately 75% of clients at residential rehabilitation programs for drug and alcohol addiction are smokers. While it is a fact that nicotine is addicting and people in rehab for addiction should strive to be abstinent from all addictive substances, this can introduce problems that make enforcing a non-smoking facility outweigh the benefits of this restriction. Someone who is addicted to a substance as life threatening as drugs and alcohol might not agree to go to treatment if they must quit smoking cigarettes, so many programs in Liberty allow smoking with some restrictions, limitations and in designated areas.

Some programs permit clients to smoke anywhere, so long as it is outside for instance. Some facilities have a designated smoking area, which is the only place that clients can smoke. Due to the fact that nicotine is an addictive substance, even treatment centers that have a designated area and allow smoking commonly provide alternatives to smoking if the client would like to consider this as an option, such as nicotine patches, nicotine gum and prescriptions. There are also facilities that 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 education or by offering informational literature for clients to consider. In rehab centers which allow smoking in designated areas this is sometimes only allowed for clients, whereas staff are often restricted from smoking at the facility or are asked to not smoke in front of clients.

Publicly funded substance abuse 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 treatment centers have a bit more tolerance and don't have as many rules and restrictions imposed on them, so may be more likely to offer designated areas for smoking.
