Smoking Allowed in Designated Area - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Facilities - Russellville, KY.

It is estimated that around 75% of clients at residential rehabilitation facilities 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 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 get help if they must quit smoking cigarettes, so many programs in Russellville allow smoking with some restrictions, limitations and in designated areas.

Some rehab centers permit clients to smoke anywhere, provides it is outside for instance. Some facilities have a designated smoking area, and this is the only place that clients are allowed to smoke in. Because nicotine is an addictive substance, even rehab centers that have a designated area and 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 educate clients on the health risks associated with smoking by including this into their program either by way of direct one on one counseling or by offering educational literature for clients to examine. In programs which permit smoking in designated areas this is sometimes only approved for clients, whereas staff are sometimes restricted from smoking at the center or are encouraged to not smoke in front of clients.

Publicly funded drug treatment 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 treatment programs have a bit more leeway and don't have as many rules and restrictions imposed on them, so they be more likely to provide designated areas for smoking.
