Smoking Allowed in Designated Area - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Facilities - Callaway, MD.

It is estimated that approximately 75% of clients at residential rehab programs for drug and alcohol addiction are smokers. While it is true that nicotine is addicting and clients in rehab for addiction should strive to be abstinent from all addictive substances, this can introduce problems that make enforcing a smoking ban outweigh the advantages of this restriction. Someone who is addicted to a substance that could very well kill them immediately might not agree to get help if they have to quit smoking cigarettes, so therefore, many programs in Callaway allow smoking with some limitations, restrictions and in designated areas.

Some facilities allow clients to smoke anywhere, provides it is outdoors for instance. Some facilities 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 treatment programs that allow smoking usually 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 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 informational literature for clients to examine. In rehab centers which allow smoking in designated areas this is sometimes only authorized for clients, and staff are often banned from smoking at the facility or are encouraged to not smoke in front of clients.

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