Smoking Allowed in Designated Area - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Facilities - Beavercreek, OR.

It is estimated that approximately 75% of clients at residential rehabilitation centers for drug and alcohol addiction are smokers. While it is true that nicotine is an addictive substance and clients in any sort of treatment for addiction should endeavor 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 as life threatening as drugs and alcohol might not agree to go to treatment if they have to quit smoking cigarettes, so many facilities in Beavercreek allow smoking with some limitations, restrictions and in designated areas.

Some facilities permit clients to smoke anywhere, provides it is outside for example. Some programs have a designated smoking area, and this is the only area that clients can smoke. Due to the fact that nicotine is addictive, even rehab facilities that have a designated area and allow smoking usually 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 educate clients 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 educational literature for clients to consider. In programs which allow smoking in designated areas this is typically only approved 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 rehabilitation 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 rehab programs have a little more leeway and don't have as many restrictions imposed on them, so they be more likely to provide designated areas for smoking.
