Smoking Allowed in Designated Area - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Centers - Meadville, MS.

It is estimated that approximately 75% of clients at residential rehab 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 endeavor to be abstinent from all addictive substances, this can present problems that make enforcing a smoking ban outweigh the advantages of this restriction. A person who is addicted to a substance that could very well kill them immediately might not agree to get help if they must quit smoking cigarettes, so many facilities in Meadville allow smoking with some restrictions, limitations and in designated areas.

Some rehab centers permit clients to smoke anywhere, so long as it is outdoors for instance. Some rehab centers have a designated smoking area, which is the only place that clients can smoke. Due to the fact that nicotine is addictive, even treatment centers that allow smoking commonly introduce alternatives to smoking if the client wants to quit, such as nicotine replacement gum, patches and prescriptions. There are also facilities which allow smoking in designated areas, but educate clients on the health risks associated with smoking by integrating this into their program either by way of direct one on one counseling or by providing informational literature for clients to examine. In facilities which permit smoking in designated areas this is typically only authorized for clients, and staff are sometimes banned from smoking at the center or are asked to not smoke in front of clients.

Publicly funded substance abuse rehabilitation centers 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 offer designated areas for smoking.
