Smoking Allowed in Designated Area - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Centers - Tazewell, 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 an addictive substance and people in rehab for addiction should strive to be abstinent 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 agree to get help if they have to quit smoking cigarettes, so therefore, many rehab centers in Tazewell allow smoking with certain limitations, restrictions and in designated areas of their facility.

Some facilities allow clients to smoke anywhere, so long as it is outdoors for example. Some programs have a designated smoking area, and this is the only place that clients are allowed to smoke in. Because nicotine is addictive, even rehab centers that allow smoking commonly offer alternatives to smoking if the client wants to quit, such as nicotine patches, nicotine gum and prescriptions. There are also facilities which permit 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 education or by offering informational literature for clients to consider. In rehab centers which permit smoking in designated areas this is typically only authorized for clients, and staff are sometimes banned from smoking at the center or are asked to not smoke in front of clients.

Publicly funded drug rehabilitation 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 treatment facilities have a bit more tolerance and don't have as many rules and restrictions imposed on them, so may be more likely to offer designated areas for smoking.
