Smoking Allowed in Designated Area - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Programs - Castleton, VT.

It is estimated that approximately 75% of clients at residential rehab programs for drug addiction and alcoholism are smokers. While it is true that nicotine is an addictive substance and clients in any sort of treatment for addiction should strive to be abstinent from all addictive substances, this can present problems that make enforcing a smoking ban outweigh the advantages of this restriction. A person who is addicted to a substance as life threatening as drugs and alcohol might not agree to go to treatment if they must quit smoking cigarettes, so many programs in Castleton allow smoking with some restrictions, limitations and in designated areas of their facility.

Some facilities allow clients to smoke anywhere, so long as it is outside for example. Some facilities have a designated smoking area, which is the only place that clients are allowed to smoke in. Due to the fact that nicotine is addictive, even treatment centers that have a designated area and allow smoking typically offer alternatives to smoking if the client wants to quit, such as nicotine replacement gum, patches and prescriptions. There are also facilities which permit smoking in designated areas, but educate clients 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 consider. In rehab centers which permit smoking in designated areas this is sometimes only allowed for clients, and staff are often restricted from smoking at the center or are encouraged to not smoke in front of clients.

Publicly funded drug treatment 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 treatment programs have a bit more leeway and don't have as many restrictions imposed on them, so may be more likely to provide designated areas for smoking.
