Smoking Allowed in Designated Area - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Centers - Jacksonville, TX.

It is estimated that approximately 75% of clients at residential rehabilitation programs for drug addiction and alcoholism are smokers. While it is true that nicotine is an addictive substance and clients in any sort of treatment 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 this restriction. A person who is addicted to a substance as life threatening as drugs and alcohol might not agree to get help if they have to quit smoking cigarettes, so many facilities in Jacksonville allow smoking with some restrictions, limitations and in designated areas of their facility.

Some programs allow clients to smoke anywhere, so long as it is outdoors for instance. Some facilities have a designated smoking area, and this is the only place that clients can smoke. Due to the fact that nicotine is addictive, even rehab centers that allow smoking commonly introduce alternatives to smoking if the client would like to consider this as an option, such as nicotine replacement gum, patches and prescriptions. There are also facilities that allow 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 education or by providing informational literature for clients to consider. In rehab centers which allow smoking in designated areas this is typically only allowed for clients, whereas staff are often restricted from smoking at the facility or are asked to not smoke in front of clients.

Publicly funded drug treatment programs 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 treatment centers have a little more tolerance and don't have as many restrictions imposed on them, so may be more likely to provide designated areas for smoking.
