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

It is estimated that around 75% of clients at residential treatment facilities for drug addiction and alcoholism are smokers. While it is a fact that nicotine is an addictive substance 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 smoking ban outweigh the benefits of such restrictions. 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 many rehab centers in Waskom allow smoking with certain limitations, restrictions and in designated areas of their facility.

Some facilities allow clients to smoke anywhere, provides it is outside for example. Some rehab centers have a designated smoking area, and this is the only area that clients can smoke. Due to the fact that nicotine is addictive, even rehab programs that have a designated area and allow smoking commonly 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 rehab centers that allow smoking in designated areas, but educate clients on the health risks associated with smoking by incorporating this into their program either by way of direct education or by providing educational literature for clients to consider. In programs which allow smoking in designated areas this is typically only allowed for clients, and staff are sometimes restricted from smoking at the center or are encouraged to not smoke in front of clients.

Publicly funded substance abuse rehabilitation facilities 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 rehabilitation programs have a little more leeway and don't have as many rules imposed on them, so they be more likely to offer designated areas for smoking.
