Smoking Allowed in Designated Area - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Programs - Starkville, MS.

It is estimated that approximately 75% of clients at residential rehabilitation facilities for drug and alcohol addiction are smokers. While it is a fact that nicotine is an addictive substance and people in any sort of treatment for addiction should endeavor to be free from all addictive substances, this can introduce problems that make enforcing a smoking ban outweigh the benefits of such restrictions. 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 therefore, many rehab centers in Starkville allow smoking with certain restrictions, limitations and in designated areas.

Some rehab centers allow clients to smoke anywhere, provides it is outdoors for instance. Some facilities have a designated smoking area, which is the only place that clients are allowed to smoke in. Due to the fact that nicotine is an addictive substance, even treatment 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 replacement gum, patches 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 education or by offering educational literature for clients to examine. In rehab centers which permit smoking in designated areas this is sometimes only approved for clients, and staff are sometimes banned from smoking at the center or are asked to not smoke in front of clients.

Publicly funded drug treatment centers are obligated by the rules and restrictions in regards to smoking that are enforced by state and federal agencies which oversee and administer these programs. Private rehabilitation facilities have a little more tolerance and don't have as many rules imposed on them, so may be more likely to offer designated areas for smoking.
