Smoking Allowed in Designated Area - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Programs - Owingsville, KY.

It is estimated that approximately 75% of clients at residential rehabilitation programs for drug addiction and alcoholism are smokers. While it is true that nicotine is an addictive substance and clients in rehab for addiction should strive to be abstinent from all addictive substances, this can present problems that make enforcing a non-smoking facility outweigh the benefits of such restrictions. A person 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 programs in Owingsville allow smoking with certain limitations, restrictions and in designated areas.

Some programs allow clients to smoke anywhere, as long as it is outdoors for instance. Some programs 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 rehab facilities that 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 programs which allow 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 one on one counseling or by offering educational literature for clients to consider. In facilities 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 rehabilitation 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 treatment centers have a bit more tolerance and don't have as many restrictions imposed on them, so they be more likely to offer designated areas for smoking.
