Smoking Allowed in Designated Area - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Centers - Sugar Grove, NC.

It is estimated that approximately 75% of clients at residential treatment programs 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 strive to be abstinent from all addictive substances, this can present problems that make enforcing a non-smoking facility outweigh the benefits of this restriction. Someone who is addicted to a substance that could very well kill them immediately might not agree to get help if they have to quit smoking cigarettes, so many rehab centers in Sugar Grove allow smoking with certain limitations, restrictions and in designated areas.

Some rehab centers permit clients to smoke anywhere, as long as it is outdoors for example. Some rehab centers have a designated smoking area, which is the only area that clients are allowed to smoke in. Due to the fact that nicotine is addictive, even rehab centers that have a designated area and allow smoking typically introduce alternatives to smoking if the client wants to quit, such as nicotine patches, nicotine gum and prescriptions. There are also programs that permit 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 one on one counseling or by offering informational literature for clients to examine. In rehab centers which allow smoking in designated areas this is typically only allowed for clients, whereas staff are often restricted from smoking at the center or are asked to not smoke in front of clients.

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