Smoking Allowed in Designated Area - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Centers - Spring, TX.

It is estimated that around 75% of clients at residential rehab facilities for drug and alcohol addiction are smokers. While it is true that nicotine is an addictive substance and clients in any sort of treatment for addiction should endeavor to be free from all addictive substances, this can introduce problems that make enforcing a smoking ban outweigh the benefits of such restrictions. Someone who is addicted to a substance as life threatening as drugs and alcohol might not agree to go to treatment if they have to quit smoking cigarettes, so therefore, many rehab centers in Spring allow smoking with some limitations, restrictions and in designated areas.

Some rehab centers permit clients to smoke anywhere, provides it is outdoors for example. Some rehab centers have a designated smoking area, and this is the only area that clients can smoke. Because nicotine is an addictive substance, even rehab centers that have a designated area and allow smoking typically introduce 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 programs that permit smoking in designated areas, but provide education on the health risks associated with smoking by integrating this into their program either by way of direct one on one counseling or by providing informational literature for clients to examine. In programs which allow smoking in designated areas this is sometimes only approved for clients, and staff are often banned from smoking at the facility or are asked to not smoke in front of clients.

Publicly funded addiction treatment centers are obligated 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 programs have a bit more leeway and don't have as many rules imposed on them, so they be more likely to provide designated areas for smoking.
