Smoking Allowed in Designated Area - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Centers - Seaside, OR.

It is estimated that approximately 75% of clients at residential rehabilitation centers for drug and alcohol addiction are smokers. While it is a fact that nicotine is addicting and people in rehab for addiction should strive to be abstinent from all addictive substances, this can present problems that make enforcing a smoking ban outweigh the benefits of such restrictions. A person 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 therefore, many rehab centers in Seaside allow smoking with some limitations, restrictions and in designated areas of their facility.

Some rehab centers permit clients to smoke anywhere, provides it is outside for instance. Some programs have a designated smoking area, and this is the only place that clients can smoke. Due to the fact that nicotine is an addictive substance, even rehab centers that have a designated area and allow smoking typically 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 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 one on one counseling or by offering educational literature for clients to consider. In rehab centers which allow smoking in designated areas this is typically only authorized for clients, whereas staff are sometimes restricted from smoking at the facility or are asked to not smoke in front of clients.

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