Smoking Allowed in Designated Area - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Centers - Radcliff, 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 addicting and clients in rehab for addiction should endeavor to be abstinent 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 that could very well kill them immediately might not get help if they have to quit smoking cigarettes, so many facilities in Radcliff 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 facilities have a designated smoking area, which is the only area that clients can smoke. Due to the fact that nicotine is addictive, even rehab facilities that allow smoking usually introduce alternatives to smoking if the client wants to quit, such as nicotine replacement gum, patches and prescriptions. There are also programs which permit 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 education or by offering educational literature for clients to examine. In programs which allow smoking in designated areas this is sometimes only allowed 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 rehabilitation facilities 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 rehab programs have a little 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.
