Smoking Allowed in Designated Area - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Programs - Heppner, OR.

It is estimated that approximately 75% of clients at residential treatment facilities for drug and alcohol addiction are smokers. While it is a fact that nicotine is an addictive substance and people in any sort of treatment for addiction should strive to be abstinent from all addictive substances, this can introduce problems that make enforcing a non-smoking facility 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 must quit smoking cigarettes, so therefore, many facilities in Heppner allow smoking with some restrictions, limitations and in designated areas.

Some facilities permit clients to smoke anywhere, so long as it is outside for instance. Some facilities have a designated smoking area, and this is the only place that clients are allowed to smoke in. Due to the fact that nicotine is an addictive substance, even rehab centers that allow smoking usually provide alternatives to smoking if the client would like to consider this as an option, such as nicotine replacement gum, patches and prescriptions. There are also facilities which permit smoking in designated areas, but educate clients on the health risks associated with smoking by incorporating this into their program either by way of direct one on one counseling or by offering educational literature for clients to consider. In facilities which permit smoking in designated areas this is sometimes only approved for clients, and staff are often restricted from smoking at the center or are asked to not smoke in front of clients.

Publicly funded addiction 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 facilities have a bit more tolerance and don't have as many restrictions imposed on them, so they be more likely to offer designated areas for smoking.
