Smoking Allowed in Designated Area - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Facilities - Burgettstown, PA.

It is estimated that approximately 75% of clients at residential rehab programs for drug addiction and alcoholism are smokers. While it is true that nicotine is addicting and clients in rehab for addiction should strive to be abstinent 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 as life threatening as drugs and alcohol might not agree to go to treatment if they have to quit smoking cigarettes, so therefore, many programs in Burgettstown allow smoking with some restrictions, limitations and in designated areas.

Some programs allow clients to smoke anywhere, provides it is outside for example. Some facilities have a designated smoking area, and this is the only place that clients can smoke. Due to the fact that nicotine is addictive, even treatment facilities that have a designated area and 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 programs that allow smoking in designated areas, but provide education on the health risks associated with smoking by incorporating this into their program either by way of direct education or by providing educational literature for clients to examine. In rehab centers which allow 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 drug rehabilitation facilities 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 treatment facilities have a little more tolerance and don't have as many rules imposed on them, so may be more likely to provide designated areas for smoking.
