Smoking Allowed in Designated Area - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Facilities - Mauriceville, TX.

It is estimated that around 75% of clients at residential treatment programs for drug addiction and alcoholism are smokers. While it is a fact 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 introduce 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 agree to go to treatment if they must quit smoking cigarettes, so therefore, many facilities in Mauriceville allow smoking with some restrictions, limitations and in designated areas of their facility.

Some rehab centers allow clients to smoke anywhere, as long as it is outdoors for instance. Some facilities have a designated smoking area, which is the only place that clients are allowed to smoke in. Because nicotine is addictive, even treatment programs that allow smoking typically provide 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 rehab centers which 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 offering informational literature for clients to consider. In facilities which permit smoking in designated areas this is sometimes only allowed for clients, and staff are sometimes restricted from smoking at the facility or are asked to not smoke in front of clients.

Publicly funded addiction rehab facilities 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 treatment facilities have a little more leeway and don't have as many rules and restrictions imposed on them, so they be more likely to offer designated areas for smoking.
