Smoking Allowed in Designated Area - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Facilities - Saronville, NE.

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 addicting and clients in rehab for addiction should strive to be free from all addictive substances, this can introduce problems that make enforcing a smoking ban outweigh the advantages 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 have to quit smoking cigarettes, so many rehab centers in Saronville allow smoking with some restrictions, limitations and in designated areas of their facility.

Some facilities allow clients to smoke anywhere, so long as it is outdoors for example. Some facilities have a designated smoking area, and this is the only area that clients are allowed to smoke in. Because nicotine is an addictive substance, even treatment facilities that have a designated area and allow smoking commonly introduce 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 programs that 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 one on one counseling or by providing informational literature for clients to examine. In rehab centers which allow smoking in designated areas this is sometimes only allowed for clients, and staff are often banned from smoking at the center or are encouraged to not smoke in front of clients.

Publicly funded drug rehab facilities 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 rehabilitation centers have a little more leeway and don't have as many restrictions imposed on them, so they be more likely to offer designated areas for smoking.
