Smoking Allowed in Designated Area - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Programs - Kansas City, MO.

It is estimated that approximately 75% of clients at residential rehabilitation facilities for drug and alcohol addiction 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 abstinent from all addictive substances, this can introduce problems that make enforcing a non-smoking facility outweigh the advantages of this restriction. A person 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 rehab centers in Kansas City allow smoking with some limitations, restrictions and in designated areas of their facility.

Some rehab centers allow clients to smoke anywhere, as long as it is outside for instance. Some rehab centers have a designated smoking area, which is the only area that clients are allowed to smoke in. Due to the fact that nicotine is addictive, even rehab centers that have a designated area and allow smoking typically introduce 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 rehab centers which 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 educational literature for clients to examine. In programs which allow smoking in designated areas this is sometimes only authorized for clients, whereas staff are sometimes restricted from smoking at the facility or are encouraged to not smoke in front of clients.

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