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

It is estimated that approximately 75% of clients at residential treatment centers for drug addiction and alcoholism are smokers. While it is true that nicotine is addicting and people in any sort of treatment for addiction should endeavor 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 as life threatening as drugs and alcohol might not go to treatment if they must quit smoking cigarettes, so therefore, many programs in Seadrift allow smoking with certain limitations, restrictions and in designated areas.

Some programs allow clients to smoke anywhere, as long as it is outside for example. Some programs have a designated smoking area, which is the only area that clients are allowed to smoke in. Because nicotine is addictive, even rehab facilities that have a designated area and allow smoking commonly offer alternatives to smoking if the client would like to consider this as an option, such as nicotine patches, nicotine gum and prescriptions. There are also facilities which allow smoking in designated areas, but provide education on the health risks associated with smoking by incorporating this into their program either by way of direct one on one counseling or by providing 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 often banned from smoking at the center or are encouraged to not smoke in front of clients.

Publicly funded drug and alcohol rehabilitation centers 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 rehab facilities have a bit more tolerance and don't have as many rules imposed on them, so they be more likely to offer designated areas for smoking.
