Smoking Allowed in Designated Area - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Centers - Philadelphia, MS.

It is estimated that approximately 75% of clients at residential treatment facilities for drug and alcohol addiction are smokers. While it is true that nicotine is an addictive substance and people in rehab for addiction should endeavor to be free from all addictive substances, this can present problems that make enforcing a smoking ban outweigh the benefits of this restriction. A person who is addicted to a substance that could very well kill them immediately might not go to treatment if they must quit smoking cigarettes, so many rehab centers in Philadelphia allow smoking with some restrictions, limitations and in designated areas of their facility.

Some rehab centers permit clients to smoke anywhere, provides it is outdoors for instance. Some rehab centers have a designated smoking area, which is the only area that clients can smoke. Because nicotine is an addictive substance, even treatment facilities that allow smoking typically offer alternatives to smoking if the client wants to quit, such as nicotine patches, nicotine gum and prescriptions. There are also facilities 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 offering educational literature for clients to consider. In facilities which allow smoking in designated areas this is typically only authorized for clients, whereas staff are sometimes restricted from smoking at the center or are encouraged to not smoke in front of clients.

Publicly funded drug and alcohol 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 facilities have a bit more tolerance and don't have as many restrictions imposed on them, so may be more likely to offer designated areas for smoking.
