Smoking Allowed in Designated Area - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Facilities - Lac Du Flambeau, WI.

It is estimated that around 75% of clients at residential rehab programs for drug and alcohol addiction are smokers. While it is a fact that nicotine is addicting and clients in rehab for addiction should strive to be abstinent from all addictive substances, this can present problems that make enforcing a non-smoking facility outweigh the benefits of such restrictions. Someone who is addicted to a substance as life threatening as drugs and alcohol might not get help if they have to quit smoking cigarettes, so therefore, many facilities in Lac Du Flambeau allow smoking with certain limitations, restrictions and in designated areas of their facility.

Some rehab centers allow clients to smoke anywhere, so long as it is outside for example. Some programs have a designated smoking area, and this is the only place that clients are allowed to smoke in. Due to the fact that nicotine is an addictive substance, even treatment programs that have a designated area and allow smoking commonly provide alternatives to smoking if the client would like to consider this as an option, such as nicotine patches, nicotine gum and prescriptions. There are also programs 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 one on one counseling or by providing educational literature for clients to examine. In programs which permit smoking in designated areas this is sometimes only approved for clients, and staff are often banned from smoking at the center or are encouraged to not smoke in front of clients.

Publicly funded substance abuse rehabilitation facilities are bound by the rules and restrictions in regards to smoking that are imposed by state and federal agencies which oversee and administer these programs. Private rehabilitation facilities have a little more tolerance and don't have as many rules imposed on them, so may be more likely to provide designated areas for smoking.
