Smoking Allowed in Designated Area - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Facilities - Flowood, MS.

It is estimated that approximately 75% of clients at residential rehabilitation programs 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 free from all addictive substances, this can present problems that make enforcing a non-smoking facility outweigh the advantages of this restriction. Someone who is addicted to a substance that could very well kill them immediately might not get help if they must quit smoking cigarettes, so therefore, many facilities in Flowood allow smoking with certain restrictions, limitations and in designated areas.

Some facilities permit clients to smoke anywhere, as long as it is outdoors for instance. Some facilities have a designated smoking area, and this is the only place that clients can smoke. Because nicotine is addictive, even rehab centers that have a designated area and allow smoking commonly provide alternatives to smoking if the client wants to quit, such as nicotine patches, nicotine gum and prescriptions. There are also rehab centers which permit 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 education or by offering educational literature for clients to examine. In facilities which allow smoking in designated areas this is sometimes only approved for clients, and staff are sometimes restricted from smoking at the center or are asked to not smoke in front of clients.

Publicly funded addiction treatment centers 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 treatment programs have a bit more leeway and don't have as many restrictions imposed on them, so may be more likely to offer designated areas for smoking.
