Smoking Allowed in Designated Area - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Programs - Conway, SC.

It is estimated that around 75% of clients at residential rehab facilities for drug addiction and alcoholism are smokers. While it is true 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 smoking ban outweigh the advantages of such restrictions. Someone who is addicted to a substance that could very well kill them immediately might not get help if they have to quit smoking cigarettes, so therefore, many rehab centers in Conway allow smoking with certain limitations, restrictions and in designated areas of their facility.

Some facilities permit clients to smoke anywhere, as long as it is outside for example. Some rehab centers have a designated smoking area, which is the only area that clients can smoke. Because nicotine is addictive, even rehab facilities that have a designated area and allow smoking typically introduce alternatives to smoking if the client would like to consider this as an option, such as nicotine patches, nicotine gum and prescriptions. There are also facilities that allow smoking in designated areas, but educate clients on the health risks associated with smoking by integrating this into their program either by way of direct education or by providing informational 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 banned from smoking at the center or are asked to not smoke in front of clients.

Publicly funded substance abuse rehabilitation centers 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 leeway and don't have as many rules and restrictions imposed on them, so may be more likely to offer designated areas for smoking.
