Smoking Allowed in Designated Area - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Programs - Marksville, LA.

It is estimated that around 75% of clients at residential rehab programs for drug addiction and alcoholism are smokers. While it is a fact that nicotine is addicting and clients in rehab for addiction should endeavor to be free 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 agree to get help if they must quit smoking cigarettes, so many programs in Marksville allow smoking with some restrictions, limitations and in designated areas.

Some rehab centers allow clients to smoke anywhere, provides it is outside for instance. Some programs have a designated smoking area, and this is the only place that clients can smoke. Due to the fact that nicotine is an addictive substance, even treatment facilities that allow smoking commonly provide 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 that allow smoking in designated areas, but provide education on the health risks associated with smoking by incorporating this into their program either by way of direct one on one counseling or by providing informational literature for clients to consider. In facilities which allow smoking in designated areas this is sometimes only authorized for clients, whereas staff are sometimes restricted from smoking at the center or are asked to not smoke in front of clients.

Publicly funded drug rehabilitation facilities 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 rehab programs have a little more leeway and don't have as many rules and restrictions imposed on them, so they be more likely to offer designated areas for smoking.
