Smoking Allowed in Designated Area - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Centers - Three Forks, MT.

It is estimated that around 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 rehab for addiction should endeavor to be free from all addictive substances, this can present problems that make enforcing a non-smoking facility outweigh the advantages of such restrictions. Someone who is addicted to a substance that could very well kill them immediately might not agree to go to treatment if they have to quit smoking cigarettes, so many rehab centers in Three Forks allow smoking with certain limitations, restrictions and in designated areas of their facility.

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

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