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

It is estimated that around 75% of clients at residential rehabilitation centers 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 this restriction. Someone who is addicted to a substance as life threatening as drugs and alcohol might not get help if they must quit smoking cigarettes, so therefore, many facilities in North Middletown allow smoking with some restrictions, limitations and in designated areas.

Some rehab centers allow clients to smoke anywhere, as long as it is outside for example. Some rehab centers have a designated smoking area, which is the only place that clients are allowed to smoke in. Due to the fact that nicotine is an addictive substance, even rehab programs that allow smoking commonly offer 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 rehab centers that permit 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 education or by providing informational literature for clients to consider. In rehab centers which allow smoking in designated areas this is sometimes only authorized for clients, whereas staff are often restricted from smoking at the center or are asked to not smoke in front of clients.

Publicly funded drug rehab 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 rehabilitation facilities 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.
