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

It is estimated that around 75% of clients at residential rehabilitation programs for drug and alcohol addiction are smokers. While it is a fact that nicotine is addicting and clients in any sort of treatment for addiction should strive to be free from all addictive substances, this can present problems that make enforcing a non-smoking facility outweigh the advantages of such restrictions. Someone who is addicted to a substance as life threatening as drugs and alcohol might not agree to go to treatment if they have to quit smoking cigarettes, so many facilities in Monticello allow smoking with some limitations, restrictions and in designated areas of their facility.

Some facilities permit clients to smoke anywhere, so long as it is outside for instance. Some programs have a designated smoking area, which is the only place that clients are allowed to smoke in. Because nicotine is an addictive substance, even treatment facilities that have a designated area and allow smoking typically 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 provide education on the health risks associated with smoking by including this into their program either by way of direct one on one counseling or by providing educational literature for clients to consider. In programs which permit smoking in designated areas this is sometimes only authorized for clients, whereas staff are often banned from smoking at the center or are encouraged to not smoke in front of clients.

Publicly funded drug rehab 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 rehabilitation centers have a bit more leeway and don't have as many rules imposed on them, so they be more likely to offer designated areas for smoking.
