Smoking Allowed in Designated Area - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Centers - Banquete, TX.

It is estimated that around 75% of clients at residential treatment facilities for drug addiction and alcoholism are smokers. While it is true that nicotine is addicting and clients in rehab for addiction should endeavor to be abstinent from all addictive substances, this can present problems that make enforcing a non-smoking facility outweigh the benefits of this restriction. 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 Banquete allow smoking with some restrictions, limitations and in designated areas.

Some facilities permit clients to smoke anywhere, as long as it is outdoors for example. Some programs have a designated smoking area, which is the only place that clients can smoke. Because nicotine is addictive, even treatment programs that 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 which 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 one on one counseling or by providing informational literature for clients to consider. In programs which permit smoking in designated areas this is sometimes only allowed for clients, whereas staff are sometimes banned from smoking at the facility or are asked to not smoke in front of clients.

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