Smoking Allowed in Designated Area - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Programs - Quitman, MS.

It is estimated that approximately 75% of clients at residential treatment facilities for drug addiction and alcoholism are smokers. While it is a fact that nicotine is an addictive substance and clients in any sort of treatment for addiction should endeavor to be abstinent 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 as life threatening as drugs and alcohol might not go to treatment if they must quit smoking cigarettes, so many programs in Quitman allow smoking with certain limitations, restrictions and in designated areas.

Some rehab centers allow clients to smoke anywhere, as long as it is outside for instance. Some facilities have a designated smoking area, which is the only place that clients can smoke. Due to the fact that nicotine is an addictive substance, even rehab facilities that allow smoking commonly 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 facilities which allow 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 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 approved for clients, and staff are often restricted from smoking at the facility or are encouraged 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 enforced by state and federal agencies which oversee and administer these programs. Private rehab facilities have a bit more tolerance and don't have as many rules and restrictions imposed on them, so they be more likely to provide designated areas for smoking.
