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

It is estimated that around 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 rehab for addiction should endeavor to be free from all addictive substances, this can introduce problems that make enforcing a smoking ban 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 therefore, many programs in Plainview allow smoking with certain restrictions, limitations and in designated areas.

Some programs permit clients to smoke anywhere, as long as it is outside for example. Some facilities have a designated smoking area, and this is the only area that clients are allowed to smoke in. Due to the fact that nicotine is addictive, even treatment programs that allow smoking commonly provide 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 including this into their program either by way of direct one on one counseling or by offering educational literature for clients to examine. In rehab centers which allow smoking in designated areas this is typically only authorized 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 bit more tolerance and don't have as many restrictions imposed on them, so they be more likely to offer designated areas for smoking.
