Smoking Allowed in Designated Area - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Facilities - Hartford, VT.

It is estimated that around 75% of clients at residential rehab facilities for drug addiction and alcoholism are smokers. While it is true that nicotine is addicting and clients in rehab for addiction should endeavor to be abstinent from all addictive substances, this can introduce problems that make enforcing a non-smoking facility outweigh the advantages of this restriction. Someone who is addicted to a substance that could very well kill them immediately might not agree to go to treatment if they have to quit smoking cigarettes, so many programs in Hartford allow smoking with some limitations, restrictions and in designated areas.

Some facilities allow clients to smoke anywhere, so long as it is outside for example. Some rehab centers have a designated smoking area, which is the only place that clients can smoke. Because nicotine is addictive, even rehab centers that have a designated area and allow smoking typically introduce alternatives to smoking if the client would like to consider this as an option, such as nicotine replacement gum, patches and prescriptions. There are also rehab centers that 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 education or by offering educational literature for clients to examine. In facilities which permit smoking in designated areas this is sometimes only approved for clients, whereas staff are sometimes banned from smoking at the facility or are encouraged to not smoke in front of clients.

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