Smoking Allowed in Designated Area - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Facilities - Farmville, VA.

It is estimated that approximately 75% of clients at residential rehab facilities for drug and alcohol addiction are smokers. While it is true that nicotine is addicting and people in any sort of treatment for addiction should strive to be free from all addictive substances, this can introduce problems that make enforcing a non-smoking facility outweigh the benefits of this restriction. 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 many programs in Farmville allow smoking with certain limitations, restrictions and in designated areas.

Some rehab centers permit 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 are allowed to smoke in. Due to the fact that nicotine is an addictive substance, even treatment programs that allow smoking usually offer alternatives to smoking if the client wants to quit, such as nicotine patches, nicotine gum and prescriptions. There are also rehab centers which allow smoking in designated areas, but educate clients on the health risks associated with smoking by including this into their program either by way of direct one on one counseling or by offering educational literature for clients to consider. In facilities 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 asked to not smoke in front of clients.

Publicly funded substance abuse rehab 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 rehab centers have a bit more leeway and don't have as many restrictions imposed on them, so they be more likely to offer designated areas for smoking.
