Smoking Allowed in Designated Area - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Facilities - Louisa, KY.

It is estimated that approximately 75% of clients at residential rehab programs for drug and alcohol addiction are smokers. While it is true that nicotine is an addictive substance and people in any sort of treatment for addiction should strive to be abstinent from all addictive substances, this can present problems that make enforcing a smoking ban outweigh the advantages of such restrictions. Someone who is addicted to a substance as life threatening as drugs and alcohol might not go to treatment if they must quit smoking cigarettes, so therefore, many facilities in Louisa allow smoking with certain limitations, restrictions and in designated areas.

Some programs allow clients to smoke anywhere, so long as it is outdoors for instance. Some rehab centers have a designated smoking area, and this is the only place that clients can smoke. Because nicotine is an addictive substance, even treatment facilities that have a designated area and allow smoking usually offer 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 allow smoking in designated areas, but educate clients on the health risks associated with smoking by integrating this into their program either by way of direct one on one counseling or by offering informational literature for clients to consider. In facilities which permit smoking in designated areas this is typically only authorized for clients, whereas staff are often restricted from smoking at the facility or are encouraged to not smoke in front of clients.

Publicly funded drug rehabilitation facilities 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 programs have a bit more leeway and don't have as many restrictions imposed on them, so may be more likely to provide designated areas for smoking.
