Smoking Allowed in Designated Area - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Programs - Weatherford, TX.

It is estimated that approximately 75% of clients at residential rehabilitation centers for drug addiction and alcoholism are smokers. While it is a fact that nicotine is addicting 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 advantages of this restriction. Someone who is addicted to a substance as life threatening as drugs and alcohol might not get help if they must quit smoking cigarettes, so therefore, many rehab centers in Weatherford allow smoking with certain limitations, restrictions and in designated areas.

Some facilities allow clients to smoke anywhere, provides it is outside for instance. Some programs have a designated smoking area, and this is the only area that clients are allowed to smoke in. Because nicotine is an addictive substance, even treatment facilities that have a designated area and allow smoking usually provide 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 permit 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 facilities which permit smoking in designated areas this is sometimes only approved for clients, whereas staff are sometimes restricted from smoking at the facility or are asked to not smoke in front of clients.

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