Smoking Allowed in Designated Area - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Programs - Desoto, TX.

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

Some rehab centers allow clients to smoke anywhere, as long as it is outdoors for example. Some rehab centers have a designated smoking area, which is the only area that clients can smoke. Because nicotine is addictive, even treatment centers that allow smoking commonly offer alternatives to smoking if the client wants to quit, such as nicotine patches, nicotine gum and prescriptions. There are also programs 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 providing informational literature for clients to consider. In facilities which allow smoking in designated areas this is sometimes only approved for clients, and staff are often restricted from smoking at the facility or are encouraged to not smoke in front of clients.

Publicly funded addiction rehab 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 rehabilitation programs have a bit more tolerance and don't have as many rules imposed on them, so may be more likely to provide designated areas for smoking.
