Smoking Allowed in Designated Area - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Facilities - Centerville, TX.

It is estimated that around 75% of clients at residential treatment facilities for drug addiction and alcoholism are smokers. While it is a fact that nicotine is addicting and clients in any sort of treatment for addiction should endeavor to be abstinent from all addictive substances, this can present problems that make enforcing a non-smoking facility outweigh the advantages of such restrictions. A person who is addicted to a substance that could very well kill them immediately might not go to treatment if they have to quit smoking cigarettes, so many programs in Centerville allow smoking with some limitations, restrictions and in designated areas of their facility.

Some facilities permit clients to smoke anywhere, provides it is outside for instance. Some rehab centers 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 commonly offer 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 educate clients on the health risks associated with smoking by integrating this into their program either by way of direct one on one counseling or by offering educational literature for clients to examine. In facilities which permit smoking in designated areas this is sometimes only allowed for clients, and staff are sometimes banned from smoking at the facility or are encouraged to not smoke in front of clients.

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