Smoking Allowed in Designated Area - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Centers - Pineville, KY.

It is estimated that approximately 75% of clients at residential rehabilitation centers for drug addiction and alcoholism are smokers. While it is true that nicotine is an addictive substance 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 smoking ban outweigh the benefits of this restriction. A person 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 many programs in Pineville allow smoking with some limitations, restrictions and in designated areas of their facility.

Some programs permit clients to smoke anywhere, so long as it is outdoors for example. Some facilities have a designated smoking area, which is the only place that clients can smoke. Due to the fact that nicotine is addictive, even treatment centers that have a designated area and allow smoking typically introduce alternatives to smoking if the client wants to quit, such as nicotine replacement gum, patches and prescriptions. There are also facilities which permit 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 informational literature for clients to consider. In rehab centers which allow smoking in designated areas this is sometimes only allowed for clients, and staff are often banned from smoking at the center or are asked to not smoke in front of clients.

Publicly funded drug rehabilitation programs are bound 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 programs have a little more tolerance and don't have as many restrictions imposed on them, so they be more likely to provide designated areas for smoking.
