Smoking Allowed in Designated Area - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Programs - Wrightsboro, TX.

It is estimated that approximately 75% of clients at residential rehabilitation facilities for drug addiction and alcoholism are smokers. While it is a fact that nicotine is addicting and people in rehab for addiction should strive to be free from all addictive substances, this can present 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 go to treatment if they have to quit smoking cigarettes, so therefore, many programs in Wrightsboro allow smoking with certain restrictions, limitations and in designated areas of their facility.

Some facilities permit clients to smoke anywhere, so long as it is outside for example. Some rehab centers 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 usually introduce alternatives to smoking if the client wants to quit, such as nicotine replacement gum, patches and prescriptions. There are also rehab centers which allow smoking in designated areas, but educate clients 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 rehab centers which permit smoking in designated areas this is typically only allowed for clients, whereas staff are often banned from smoking at the facility or are encouraged to not smoke in front of clients.

Publicly funded addiction rehab 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 little more leeway and don't have as many rules imposed on them, so they be more likely to provide designated areas for smoking.
