Smoking Allowed in Designated Area - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Centers - Batesburg, SC.

It is estimated that around 75% of clients at residential rehabilitation centers for drug and alcohol addiction are smokers. While it is a fact that nicotine is an addictive substance and clients 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 as life threatening as drugs and alcohol might not go to treatment if they must quit smoking cigarettes, so therefore, many programs in Batesburg allow smoking with some limitations, restrictions and in designated areas of their facility.

Some programs allow clients to smoke anywhere, as long as it is outdoors for example. Some programs have a designated smoking area, which is the only area that clients are allowed to smoke in. Due to the fact that nicotine is addictive, even rehab programs that have a designated area and 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 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 informational literature for clients to consider. In facilities which permit smoking in designated areas this is typically only authorized for clients, and staff are sometimes restricted from smoking at the facility or are encouraged to not smoke in front of clients.

Publicly funded substance abuse rehab facilities 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 centers 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.
