Smoking Allowed in Designated Area - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Programs - Corbett, OR.

It is estimated that approximately 75% of clients at residential rehab programs for drug and alcohol addiction are smokers. While it is true that nicotine is addicting and clients 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 this restriction. Someone who is addicted to a substance that could very well kill them immediately might not agree to get help if they must quit smoking cigarettes, so many rehab centers in Corbett allow smoking with some restrictions, limitations and in designated areas.

Some facilities allow clients to smoke anywhere, provides it is outdoors for example. Some facilities have a designated smoking area, which is the only area that clients can smoke. Due to the fact that nicotine is an addictive substance, even rehab facilities that allow smoking usually 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 educate clients 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 examine. In rehab centers which permit smoking in designated areas this is typically only approved 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 rehabilitation facilities are bound 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 bit more leeway and don't have as many rules imposed on them, so may be more likely to offer designated areas for smoking.
