Smoking Allowed in Designated Area - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Facilities - Cushing, OK.

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 clients in rehab for addiction should strive to be free from all addictive substances, this can introduce problems that make enforcing a non-smoking facility outweigh the benefits of such restrictions. 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 therefore, many rehab centers in Cushing allow smoking with certain restrictions, limitations and in designated areas.

Some facilities permit clients to smoke anywhere, so long as it is outdoors for instance. Some facilities have a designated smoking area, and this is the only place that clients can smoke. 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 rehab centers that permit smoking in designated areas, but provide education on the health risks associated with smoking by including this into their program either by way of direct education or by providing educational literature for clients to consider. In programs which permit smoking in designated areas this is typically only authorized for clients, and staff are sometimes restricted from smoking at the facility or are asked to not smoke in front of clients.

Publicly funded substance abuse rehab programs are obligated by the rules and restrictions in regards to smoking that are imposed by state and federal agencies which oversee and administer these programs. Private rehab centers have a little more leeway and don't have as many rules imposed on them, so may be more likely to provide designated areas for smoking.
