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

It is estimated that around 75% of clients at residential treatment centers 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 abstinent from all addictive substances, this can present problems that make enforcing a non-smoking facility outweigh the advantages of such restrictions. Someone who is addicted to a substance that could very well kill them immediately might not agree to get help if they must quit smoking cigarettes, so many rehab centers in Providence Forge allow smoking with certain limitations, restrictions and in designated areas of their facility.

Some rehab centers permit clients to smoke anywhere, provides it is outdoors for example. Some facilities 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 addictive, even treatment facilities that allow smoking commonly offer 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 provide education 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 informational literature for clients to examine. In rehab centers which permit smoking in designated areas this is sometimes only authorized for clients, whereas staff are sometimes banned from smoking at the facility or are encouraged to not smoke in front of clients.

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